Four light waves are represented by

(i)


(ii)


(iii)


(iv)


Interference fringes may be observed due to superposition of


For interference to occur, the incoming light should be coherent, that means it should maintain a constant phase difference. Only option (A) and (D) maintain a constant phase difference. Hence, they are correct.
