What happens to the interference pattern when two coherent sources are (b) far apart from each other?
What happens to the interference pattern when two coherent sources are (b) far apart from each other?
When two coherent sources are far apart, the interference pattern becomes less pronounced and the fringes become wider and less bright.
What happens to the interference pattern when two coherent sources are (a) infinitely close?
What happens to the interference pattern when two coherent sources are (a) infinitely close?
When two coherent sources are infinitely close, the interference pattern becomes more pronounced and the fringes become narrower and brighter.
What is the effect of increasing the distance between two coherent sources on the interference pattern?
What is the effect of increasing the distance between two coherent sources on the interference pattern?
Increasing the distance between two coherent sources leads to a decrease in the visibility of the interference pattern, resulting in wider and less distinct fringes.
