AEqual brightness at all times
BSame colour but random phase
CEqual frequency, fixed phase gap
DSame speed in different media
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Equal frequency, fixed phase gap
Sustained interference needs waves of equal frequency whose phase difference does not change with time.
