Problem

Two waves from coherent sources meet at a point with a phase difference of ϕ\phi. Both waves have the same intensity. Match the following two columns.
Column IColumn II
(a) If ϕ=60∘\phi=60^\circ(p) Resultant intensity becomes four times
(b) If ϕ=90∘\phi=90^\circ(q) Resultant intensity becomes two times
(c) If ϕ=0∘\phi=0^\circ(r) Resultant intensity remains unchanged
(d) If ϕ=120∘\phi=120^\circ(s) Resultant intensity becomes three times
