State the conditions which must be satisfied for two light sources to be coherent.

  • 1

(i) Two sources must emit light of same wavelength (or frequency).
(ii) Originating phase difference between two light sources must be either zero or having a constant value, which should not change with time.

  1. For two light sources to be coherent, they must meet the following conditions:
    1. They must have a constant phase relationship, meaning the phase difference between them remains fixed over time.They must emit light of the same frequency (monochromatic light).
    2. They must have a constant amplitude ratio, ensuring uniform intensity over time for stable interference patterns.
