In a Young's double slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of waves of equal amplitude A and wavelength λ. In another experiment with the same arrangement the two slits are made to act as incoherent sources of waves of same amplitude and wavelength. If the intensity at the middle point of the screen in the first case is I1 and in the second case I2, then the ratio I1I2 is

Consider the following statements in case of Young's double slit experiment.

I. A slit S is necessary, if we use an ordinary extended source of light.

II. A slit S is not needed, if we use an ordinary but well collimated beam of light.

III. A slit S is not needed, if we use a specially coherent source of light.
