How did Young make two pinholes act as coherent sources?
AUsed two separate bright lamps
BLit both from one pinhole source
CCooled both pinholes equally
DCovered one with a polaroid
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Lit both from one pinhole source
Both pinholes receive light from one source, so any phase change appears equally in both and they stay locked.
