Given below are two statements:
Choose the correct option from the given ones:
| Assertion (A): | Two separate lamps cannot produce a stable, visible interference pattern on the screen, even if they emit monochromatic light of identical wavelengths. |
| Reason (R): | Any two ordinary lamps are not coherent, even though they emit light of the same wavelength. |
Choose the correct option from the given ones:
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

In Lloyd's mirror experiment, we generate one source by reflection because we need sources:
1. producing light of the same intensities
2. producing light of the same wavelength
3. coherent in nature
4. incoherent in nature

For destructive interference to occur between two monochromatic light waves of wavelength \(\lambda,\) the path difference between them should be: (where \(n=1,2,3,....\))
| 1. | \(\dfrac{(2n-1)\lambda}{4}\) | 2. | \(2n \lambda \) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{(2n-1)\lambda}{2}\) | 4. | \(n \lambda\) |

Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | If two identical (monochromatic) sodium vapour lamps \(S_1,S_2\) are switched on, and the light from these sources are allowed to fall on a screen – no fringes will be visible. |
| Reason (R): | Light from two independent sodium vapour lamps are incoherent and therefore will not have a constant phase difference between them. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
