In Young's double-slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude A and of wavelength λ. In another experiment with the same set-up the two slits are sources of equal amplitude A and wavelength λ, but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the mid-point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is .. ......
