NEET Physics Interference Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): Coherent light sources are necessary for observing stable interference patterns. | Reason (R): Coherent sources have a constant phase relationship over time.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Interference patterns require coherent sources which maintain a constant phase difference. The NCERT context states that incoherent sources like separate light sources do not produce interference patterns due to rapid phase changes.
