To demonstrate the phenomenon of interference, required two sources of light must have

  1. A nearly the same frequency only
  2. B different wavelengths
  3. C same frequency and have a constant phase difference
  4. D same frequency and have a rapidly changing phase difference
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) same frequency and have a constant phase difference

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To observe a stable and sustained interference pattern, the two light sources must be coherent. Coherence requires the sources to satisfy two primary conditions: Same Frequency: The waves must have the same frequency (and thus the same wavelength). Constant Phase Difference: The…
