The intensity of light from a continuously emitting laser source operating at $638 \,nm$ wavelength is modulated at $1 \,GHz$. The modulation is done by momentarily cutting the intensity off with a frequency of $1 \,GHz$. What is the farthest distance apart two detectors can be placed in the line of the laser light,so that they can see the portions of the same pulse simultaneously?
(Consider the speed of light in air $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \,m/s$)

  • B
    $30 \,cm$
  • C
    $3 \,m$
  • D

Two point monochromatic and coherent sources of light of wavelength $\lambda$ are placed on the dotted line in front of a large screen. The sources emit waves in phase with each other. The distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $d$,while their distance from the screen is much larger. Then,
