Two coherent sources of light interfere and produce fringe patterns on a screen. For central maximum, the phase difference between the two waves will be
Options
- Azero
- Bπ
- C3 π 2
- Dπ 2
Correct answer
A. zero
Step-by-step solution
For central maximum, path difference is zero hence phase difference for coherent sources of light will be zero. And the relation between phase difference and path difference is, ∆ ϕ = 2 π λ ∆ x , where Δ x is path difference and ∆ ϕ is phase difference. So due to zero path difference phase difference is also zero.
