Question
How is Young's interference experiment performed using a single source of light?

Answer

When a narrow slit is placed in front of an intense source of monochromatic light. cylindrical wave-fronts propagate from the slit. In Young's experiment, two coherent sources are then obtained by wavefront splitting by placing a second screen with two narrow slits at a small distance from the first slit.
