MCQ

In Young's double slit experiment, if the two slits are illuminated with separate sources, no interference pattern is observed because

✓
There will be no constant phase difference between the two waves
B
The wavelengths are not equal
C
The amplitudes are not equal
D
None of the above

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

There will be no constant phase difference between the two waves

a
(a)In conventional light source, light comes from a large number of independent atoms, each atom emitting light for about $10^{-9}$ sec i.e. light emitted by an atom is essentially a pulse lasting for only $10^{-9}$ sec. Light coming out from two slits will have a fixed phase relationship only for $10^{-9}$ sec. Hence any interference pattern formed on the screen would last only for $10^{-9}$ sec, and then the pattern will change. The human eye can notice intensity changes which last at least for a tenth of a second and hence we will not be able to see any interference pattern. In stead due to rapid changes in the pattern, we will only observe a uniform intensity over the screen.
