NEET Physics Interference MCQ Question
What condition must be met for constructive interference to occur at a point P from two coherent sources S1 and S2?
The path difference S1P ~ S2P must equal nλ.
The path difference S1P ~ S2P must equal (n + 1/2)λ.
The waves must be out of phase by π radians.
The sources must be incoherent.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Constructive interference occurs when the path difference S1P ~ S2P equals nλ, as stated in the NCERT context, leading to a resultant intensity of 4I0.
