- The displacement of two light waves, each of amplitude 'a' and frequency \(\omega\), emanating from two coherent sources of light, are given by \(y_1 = a \cos(\omega t)\) and \(y_2 = a \cos(\omega t + \phi)\). \(\phi\) is the phase difference between the two waves. These light waves superpose at a point. Obtain the expression for the resultant intensity at that point.
