Question:
If two sources of intensifies $I_0$ each have a randomly varying phase difference ф, the resultant intensity at centre of screen will be :
If two sources of intensifies $I_0$ each have a randomly varying phase difference ф, the resultant intensity at centre of screen will be :
Updated On: Mar 12, 2025
- $I_0$/2
- 2/$I_0$
- 2$I_0$
- $I_0$/√2
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (C): 2$I_0$
As we know the phase difference is varying, then the waves are said to be incoherent. So, the intensity of resultant wave is the sum of intensities of each wave is 2$I_0$.

- A double slit interference experiment performed with a light of wavelength 600 nm forms an interference fringe pattern on a screen with 10th bright fringe having its centre at a distance of 10 mm from the central maximum. Distance of the centre of the same 10th bright fringe from the central maximum when the source of light is replaced by another source of wavelength 660 nm would be:
