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.
  1. B and C
  2. B and D
  3. A and C
  4. 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.
