An interference pattern can be observed due to the superposition of more than one of the following waves:
(A) \(y=a\sin(\omega t)\)
(B) \(y=a\sin(2\omega t)\)
(C) \(y=a\sin\left(\omega t-\phi\right)\)
(D) \(y=a\sin(3\omega t)\)
Identify the waves from the options given below:
1. (B) and (C) only 2. (B) and (D) only
3. (A) and (C) only 4. (A) and (B) only

An interference pattern is obtained with two coherent light sources of intensity ratio \(n.\) In the interference pattern, the ratio of their intensities \(\left(\frac{I_{max}-I_{min}}{I_{max}+I_{min}}\right)\) will be:
1. \(\dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{n+1}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{n}}{n+1}\)
3. \(\dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{(n+1)^2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{n}}{(n+1)^2}\)
