NEET Physics Interference Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Constructive interference (i) Resultant intensity 4I_0 (b) Destructive interference (ii) Resultant intensity 0 (c) Coherent sources (iii) Fixed phase relationship (d) Incoherent sources (iv) Rapid phase changes
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Constructive interference occurs when the path difference results in a phase difference of 0, leading to a resultant intensity of 4I_0. Destructive interference happens when the phase difference is π, resulting in zero intensity. Coherent sources maintain a fixed phase relationship, while incoherent sources exhibit rapid phase changes, preventing consistent interference patterns.
