MCQ
Two identical lights sources $S_1$​ and $S_2$ emit the light of same wavelength $\lambda$. These light rays will exhibit interference if:
  • Their phase difference remain constant.
  • B
    Their phase difference is distributed randomly.
  • C
    Their light intensities remain constant.
  • D
    Their light intensities change continuously.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Their phase difference remain constant.

For interference to take place the light sources need to be either in phase or have a constant phase difference. In case the phase difference keeps changing the interference pattern will keep on changing, as a result of interference pattern will be observed.

A radar sends an electromagnetic signal of electric field $\left( E _{0}\right)=2.25\,V / m$ and magnetic field $\left( B _{0}\right)=1.5 \times 10^{-8}\,T$ which strikes a target on line of sight at a distance of $3\,km$ in a medium After that, a pail of signal $(echo)$ reflects back towards the radar vitli same velocity and by same path. If the signal was transmitted at time $t_{0}$ from radar. then after how much time (in  $\times 10^{-5}\,s$) echo will reach to the radar?
