Question

Statement I: For the situation shown in figure two identecal coherent light sources produce interference pattern on the screen. The intensity of minima nearest to `S_(1)` is not exactly zero.

Statement II: Minimum intensity is zero, when interfering waves have same intensity at the location of superposition.
A. Statement I is True, statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.
B. Statement I is Ture, Statement II is Ture, Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.
C. Statement I is True, Statement II is False.
D. Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - a
At the location of minima, two waves have different intensities and hence minimum intensity is not exaclty zero.
