The displacements of four light waves are given below. If the amplitudes \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \) are nearly equal, then the interference fringes may be observed due to superposition of:
(A) \( y = a_1 \sin \omega t \)
(B) \( y = a_2 \sin (\omega t + \phi) \)
(C) \( y = a_1 \sin 2\omega t \)
(D) \( y = a_2 \sin 3(\omega t + \phi) \)

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (A) and (C) only
  3. C (B) and (C) only
  4. D (B) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A) and (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Interference fringes are observed when two waves have the same frequency and a constant phase difference. Waves (A) \( y = a_1 \sin \omega t \) and (B) \( y = a_2 \sin (\omega t + \phi) \) have the same angular frequency \( \omega \). Therefore, interference fringes may be…
