Two waves from coherent sources meet at a point in a phase difference of \(\phi\) and path difference \(\Delta x.\) Both waves have same intensities \(I_0.\) Based on this information, match Column-I and Column-II.
Column-I Column-II
(a) If \({\Delta x}=\dfrac{\lambda}{3}\) (p) resultant intensity will be \(3I_0\)
(b) If \(\phi = 60^{\circ}\) (q) resultant intensity will be \(I_0\)
(c) If \({\Delta x}=\dfrac{\lambda}{4}\) (r) resultant intensity will be zero
(d) If \(\phi = 90^{\circ}\) (s) resultant intensity will be \(2I_0\)
