Superposition, Coherence & Intensity

The phase difference between two waves giving rise to dark fringe in Young's double slit experiment is ( n is the integer)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Destructive interference (dark fringe) needs a phase difference that is an odd multiple of π\pi.
  2. Odd multiple of π\pi is written (2n−1)π(2n-1)\pi for integer nn.
  3. So the answer is (c) (2n−1)π(2n-1)\pi.
