Q125 / 200 · NEET 2024 (Re-NEET) · Physics

Interference pattern can be observed due to superposition of the following waves: A. $y=a \sin \omega t$ B. $y=a \sin 2 \omega t$ C. $y=a \sin (\omega t-\phi)$ D. $y=a \sin 3 \omega t$ Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    B and C
  • B
    B and D
  • Correct answer
    C
    A and C
  • D
    A and B

Solution

For interference pattem to be observed the sources must be coherent. Hence the superposition of waves $y=a \sin (\omega t) \& y=a \sin (\omega t-\phi)$ would result in interference.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
