Four light sources produce the following four waves:
$(i)$ $y_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$
(ii) $y_2 = a \sin(2\omega t)$
(iii) $y_3 = d' \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$
(iv) $y_4 = d' \sin(3\omega t + \phi)$
Superposition of which two waves gives rise to interference?

  • A
    $(i)$ and (ii)
  • B
    (ii) and (iii)
  • C
    $(i)$ and (iii)
  • D
