In Young's double slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude and of wavelength . In another experiment with the same set up, the two slits are sources of equal amplitude and wavelength , but are incoherent. The ratio of intensities of light at the mid point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

When sources are coherent, intensity at mid point is When sources are incoherent, no interference occurs. Intensity at mid point is
