Question:

Two coherent point sources S1 and S2 are separated by a small distance d as shown. The fringes obtained on the screen will be: straight lines, semi-circles, concentric circles, points

straight lines

concentric circles

points

semi-circles

Solution:

for a given path difference many points can be found on the screen and locus of all these points are semicircles. hence, fringes will be in concentric circle forms.
