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 \({\Delta x}={\lambda \over 3}\) (p) resultant intensity will be \(3I_0\)
b. If \(\phi = 60^{\circ}\) (q) resultant intensity will be \(I_0\)
c. If \({\Delta x}={\lambda \over 4}\) (r) resultant intensity will be zero
d. If \(\phi = 90^{\circ}\) (s) resultant intensity will be \(2I_0\)
 
1. a(q), b(p), c(s), d(s)
2. a(s), b(p), c(s), d(q)
3. a(q), b(s), c(s), d(p)
4. a(s), b(r), c(q), d(r)
