(i) Consider two coherent sources `S_1 and S_2` producing monochromatic waves to produce interference pattern. Let, the displacement of the wave produced by `S_1` be given by `Y_1 = acosomegat` and the displacement by `S_2` be `Y_2 = acos(omegat +phi)` Find out the expression for the amplitude of the resultant displacement at a point and show that the intensity at that point will be `I = 4a^2 cos^2phi/2` Hence, establish the conditions for constructive and destructive interference.(ii) What is the effect on the interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment when (i) the width of the source slit is increased;
(i) (a) 'Two independent monochromatic sources of light cannot produce `a` sustained interference pattern'. Give reason.(b) Light waves each of amplitude a and frequency `omega` emanating from two coherent light sources superpose at a point. If the displacements due to these waves is given by `Y_1 = acosomegat and Y_2 = acos(omegat+phi)` where `(phi)` is the phase difference between the two, obtain the expression for the resultant intensity at the point. (ii) In Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light of wavelength `lambda`, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where path difference is `lambda`, is K
Light of intensity 10–5 W m–2 falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area 2 cm2 . Assuming that the top 5 layers of sodium absorb the incident energy, estimate time required for photoelectric emission in the wave-picture of radiation.

(i) What is the effect on the interference fringes to a Young's double slit experiment when (a) the separation between the two slits is decreased? (b) the width of the source slit is increased? (c) the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light? Justify your answer in each case.(ii) The intensity at the central maxima in Young's double slit experimental set up is `I_0`. Show that the intensity at a point where the path difference is `lambda//3` , is
