In conventional light source, light comes from a large number of independent atoms, each atom emitting light for about 10 –9 sec i.e. light emitted by an atom is essentially a pulse lasting for only 10 –9 sec . Light coming out from two slits will have a fixed phase relationship only for 10 -9 sec . Hence any interference pattern formed on the screen would last only for 10 –9 sec , and then the pattern will change. The human eye can notice intensity changes which last at least for a tenth of a second and hence we will not be able to see any interference pattern. In stead due to rapid changes in the pattern, we will only observe a uniform intensity over the screen.
