Questions Related to interference
Two coherent waves of light will not produce constructive interference if the phase difference between them is
-
$0^0$
-
$360^0$
-
$720^0$
-
$90^0$
Constructive interference for coherent waves takes place when phase difference = $2n\pi$ where n is a integer
The time of coherence is of the order of
-
$10^{-4}s$
-
$10^{-8}s$
-
$10^{-6}s$
-
$10^{-2}s$
In a light source, a light wave(photon) is produced when an excited atom goes to the ground state and emits light.

Which of the following, cannot produce two coherent sources?
-
Lloyd's mirror
-
Fresnel biprism
-
Young's double sit

Prism
Two coherent sources are produced in Lloyd's mirror by reflection of light from a plane mirror, hence the original source and its image acting as coherent sources.
The device which produces highly coherent sources is
-
Fresnel biprism
-
Young's double sit
-
Laser
-
Lloyd's mirror
The atoms in the laser medium are pumped up energetically by an external power source, producing a population inversion of atomic energies. The pumped-up atoms can return to lower energy levels by emitting light at only certain frequencies, depending on the particular medium, which can be a solid (e.g. laser diode), a liquid (e.g. dye laser) or a gas (e.g. helium-neon laser).
Two sources are called coherent if they produce waves
-
of equal wavelength
-
of equal velocity
-
having same shape of wavefront
-
having a constant phase different
Two source are called coherent, if they have constant phase difference i.e., phase difference between two wave is constant with respect to time.
Coherence is a measure of
-
capability of producing interference by wave
-
waves being diffracted
-
waves being reflected
-
waves being refracted
Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude.
Thus coherence is a measure of capability of producing interference of wave.
The phenomenon of interference is shown by:
-
longitudinal mechanical waves only
-
electromagnetic waves only
-
transverse mechanical waves only
-
all the above types of waves
All of the above type of waves.
Two coherent sources of light can be obtained by
-
two different lamps
-
two different lams of same power and same colour
-
two different lamps of same power
-
none of these
Two sources are said to be coherent if they have exactly same frequency and have zero or constant phase difference. Two coherent source cannot be obtained from two different light sources.
Two light sources are said to be coherent if they are obtained from:
-
two ordinary bulbs emitting light of different wavelengths
-
a single point source
-
a wide source
-
two independent point sources emitting light of the same wavelength
