7. Two beams of light are incident on the same spot on a wall.
Each beam comes from an independent robot. Does this create a
superposition pattern on the wall?
8. Parallel light rays from a blaster are incident on a flat
mirror. Can the rays reflected from the mirror converge on a single
point? Explain your answer.

7)
NO
condition for superposition pattern
phase difference between two wave must be constant with time or simply they must come from a coherence source but in this case they are independent so not possible to full this condition
Two sources are said to be coherent if they have exactly same frequency, and have zero or constant phase difference.
8.
NO
because light reflected from a flat mirror bounce back at same angle at which they fall on mirror
so if two parallel ray fall on mirror after reflection they will bounce back parallel to each other
