You have to correct the question as,
Why are two independent sources of light not used to illuminate the two slits in Young's double slit experiment?
We need coherent sources. But two independent sources would emit waves with varying phase difference which makes waves non coherent.

How is a light wave different than any other wave?
ligt waves are different from other ways because they have charicteristics of particles and waves. It has never been proven that it is one or the other. Youngs double slit experiment shows us that light waves diffract and interfere.

What is Youngs modulus of sugar?
The value for the cleavage plane (100) is 38 GPa and the value for the cleavage plane (001) is 33 GPa.
How will intensity of maxima and minima in youngs double slit experimentchange if one of slit is covered by a transparent paper which transmits only half of light intensity?
find max.intensity using the formula I=I1+I2+(2I1I2)1/2 and for min.intensity,I=I1+I2-(2I1I2)1/2.
Is stress a dimensionless quantity?
No, stress is not a dimensionless quantity. By application of a simple equation of stress, axial stress, we can determine the primary dimensions (Length, Time, Mass, Etc.) of stress.Stress (sigma) = Force (F)/Area (A)Force has the primary dimensions of: (Mass*Length)/Time^2Area has the primary dimensions of: Length^2Therefore we can determine that Stress has the primary dimensions of: Mass/(Length*Time^2)Common units include: Newtons (SI), psi (pounds mass per square inch)You may have confused stress with strain. Strain has primary dimensions of Length/Length and therefore it is often expressed without any attached units.
What are the sources of errors in youngs modulus experiment?
One inaccuracy can be that the wire or material that you are using to find Young's Modulus has some impurities and there may be a slight variation in the cross sectional area so a shorter piece of that material should be used.
