उत्तर
a, b and d
Explanation:
• For getting the sustained interference the initial phase difference between the interfering waves must remain constant, i.e., sources should be coherent.
For two coherent sources, the resultant intensity is given by `I = I_1 + I_2 + 2sqrt(I_1I_2) cos phi`
• Resultant intensity at the point of observation will be maximum
`I_("max") = I_1 + I_2 + 2sqrt(I_1I_2)`
`I_("max") = (sqrt(I_1) + sqrt(I_2))^2`
• Resultant intensity at the point of observation will be minimum
`I_("min") = I_1 + I_2 - 2sqrt(I_1I_2)`
`I_("min") = (sqrt(I_1) - sqrt(I_2))^2`
