In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$,but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $4 : 1$
