Does the phenomem of in terference obey the law of conservation of energy ?

Answer»

Solution :Yes, at the point of DESTRUCTIVE interference the intensity of light is zero. But, this ENERGY is redisturbed to mthe bright fridge region. The total intensity from TWO SLITS is `a^2a^2=2a^2`. Where a is the amplitude of the wave for each SLIT. The intensity of bright point is zero and hence average intensity is ` 0+4a^2/2=2a^2`. Thus ,law of conservation of energy is obeyed.
