Light waves from two coherent sources arrive at two points on a screen with path difference of $0$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. The ratio of intensities at the points is $(\cos 0^{\circ}=1, \cos \pi=-1)$.

Two coherent sources of intensity ratio $9:4$ produce interference. The intensity ratio of maxima and minima of the interference pattern is

Among the two interfering monochromatic sources $A$ and $B$; $A$ is ahead of $B$ in phase by $66^\circ$. If the observation is taken from point $P$,such that $PB - PA = \lambda / 4$. Then the phase difference between the waves from $A$ and $B$ reaching $P$ is.....$^\circ$.

To demonstrate the phenomenon of interference,we require two sources which emit radiation of

Interference fringes are produced on the screen by using two light sources of intensities $I$ and $9I$. The phase difference between the beams is $\pi / 2$ at point $P$ and $\pi$ at point $Q$ on the screen. The difference between the resultant intensities at points $P$ and $Q$ is $(\cos 90^{\circ}=0, \cos 180^{\circ}=-1)$. (in $I$)
