Statement-I: For the situation shown in figure, two identical coherent sources of light produce interference pattern on the screen. The intensity of minima nearest to is not exactly zero.
Statement-Il: Minimum intensity is zero when interfering waves have same intensity at the location of superposition.


Important Questions on Wave Optics

Two point sources and separated by a distance emit light waves of wavelength in phase. A circular wire of radius is placed around the sources as shown in figure, then ( is the centre of the circle and )



















A parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top, and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? Take the speed of sound in water to be .
