    Two sources are said to be coherent if they produce waves

    A)  having a constant phase difference

    B)  of equal wavelength

    C)  of equal speed

    D)  having same shape of wave front

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Phase difference \[=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\times \](path difference) The phase difference is independent of time and depends only on the path difference \[({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}).\] This holds only if the two sources are coherent, ie, they have a constant fixed phase difference between them.
