Four light sources produce the following four waves:
$(i)$ $y_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$
(ii) $y_2 = a \sin(2\omega t)$
(iii) $y_3 = d' \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$
(iv) $y_4 = d' \sin(3\omega t + \phi)$
Superposition of which two waves gives rise to interference?

Which of the following is conserved when light waves interfere?

The following figure shows sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ that emit light of wavelength $\lambda$ in all directions. The sources are exactly in phase and are separated by a distance equal to $1.5\lambda$. If we start at the indicated start point and travel along path $1$ and $2$,the interference produces a maxima all along:

For a distinct interference pattern to be observed,the necessary condition is that the ratio of the intensity of light emission by both sources should be
