Problem

What is interference of light? Write two essential conditions for sustained interference pattern to be produced on the screen. Draw a graph showing the variation of intensity versus the position on the screen in Young's experiment when (a) both the slits are opened and (b) one of the slit is closed. What is the effect on the interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment when: i. Screen is moved closer to the plane of slits? ii. Separation between two slits is increased. Explain.
