Problem

Two waves from coherent sources meet at a point with path difference δx\delta x. Both waves have the same intensity. Match the following columns.
Column IColumn II
(a) If δx=λ/3\delta x=\lambda/3(p) Resultant intensity becomes three times
(b) If δx=λ/6\delta x=\lambda/6(q) Resultant intensity remains the same
(c) If δx=λ/4\delta x=\lambda/4(r) Resultant intensity becomes two times
(d) If δx=λ/2\delta x=\lambda/2(s) Resultant intensity becomes zero
