Interference pattern can be observed due to superposition of the following waves: Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- B and C
- B and D
- A and C
- A and B
Answer
(3) A and C
Solution
A sustained interference pattern needs coherent waves: the same frequency and a constant phase difference.
A ( ) and C ( , constant phase difference ) have the same angular frequency, so they interfere.
B (2 ) and D (3 ) have different frequencies from each other and from A and C.
A and C.
Answer: (3)
