Two coherent sources of intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ produce an interference pattern on a screen. The maximum intensity in the interference pattern is

Two identical coherent sources are placed on a diameter of a circle of radius $R$ at a separation $x (x << R)$,symmetrically about the center of the circle. The sources emit waves of identical wavelength $\lambda$. Find the number of points on the circle with maximum intensity,given $x = 5 \lambda$.

Two coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ and a screen are arranged as shown in the figure. If the distance between the two coherent sources is $n \lambda$ and the distance of the screen from the nearer coherent source $S_2$ is $D$,then the distance of the first bright fringe on the screen from the point $O$ is (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light emitted by the coherent sources).

Two waves having same intensity $I_{0}$ and originated from two non-coherent sources superpose at a point. The average intensity at that point is . . . . . . .
