NEET Physics Interference MCQ Question
Consider two coherent light sources S1 and S2, separated by a small distance, producing an interference pattern on a screen. If the path difference S1P - S2P for a point P on the screen is , what type of interference occurs at point P?
Constructive interference
Destructive interference
No interference
Partial interference
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, if the path difference is an odd multiple of (such as ), it results in destructive interference.
