Four light sources produce the following four waves :
(i) \(y_1=a \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_1\right)\)
(ii) \(y_2=a \sin 2 \omega t\)
(iii) \(y_3=d^{\prime} \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_2\right)\)
(iv) \(y_4=d^{\prime} \sin (3 \omega t+\phi)\)
Superposition of which two waves give rise to interference?

  1. A (i) and (ii)
  2. B (ii) and (iii)
  3. C (i) and (iii)
  4. D (iii) and (iv)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (i) and (iii)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Interference phenomenon takes place between two waves which have equal frequency and propagate in same direction. Hence, \(\begin{aligned} & y_1=a \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_1\right) \\ & y_3=d^{\prime} \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_2\right) \end{aligned}\) will give rise to…
