NEET Physics Interference MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about interference of light waves is correct?

A

Incoherent sources can produce interference patterns under certain conditions.

B

Destructive interference occurs when the phase difference is a multiple of 2π.

C

Constructive interference results in a bright fringe when the path difference is an integer multiple of the wavelength.

D

Only light from two identical sodium lamps can create coherent sources.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference between light waves is an integer multiple of the wavelength, leading to a bright fringe, as stated in the NCERT context. Incoherent sources cannot produce interference patterns due to rapid phase changes.
