If the ratio of amplitudes of two interfering waves is \(4: 3\), then the ratio of maximum and minimum intensity is

  1. A \(16: 18\)
  2. B \(18: 16\)
  3. C \(49: 1\)
  4. D \(94: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(49: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, the ratio of amplitudes of two interfering waves is \(4: 3\) i.e \(\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{4}{3}\) ...(i) We know that, intensity of wave is proportional to square of amplitude. \(\therefore \frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }}=\left(\frac{A_{\max }}{A_{\min }}\right)^2\), where…
