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.

 when sources are coherent Im = 4I0

When sources are incoherent

I = I0 + I0 = 2I0

∴ Ratio  Im/I =  4I0/2I0 = 2.
