Question:

Can the interference pattern be produced by two independent monochromatic sources of light?

Solution:

No, As we know that interference can be produced only when the two monochromatic sources of light are coherent, i.e., they emit identical waves with a constant phase difference. Since, according to the question, we have two independent sources of light, so they are not coherent (i.e., they are incoherent), so the interference pattern can't be produced by two independent sources of light. Answer is 'No'
