Two coherent light sources having intensity in the ratio \(2 \mathrm{x}\) produce an interference pattern. Then the value of \(\frac{I_{\max }-I_{\min }}{I_{\max }+I_{\min }}\) will be

  1. A \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2 x}}{x+1}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\sqrt{2 x}}{2 x+1}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2 x}}{2 x+1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2 x}}{2 x+1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \frac{I_1}{I_2}=2 x \\ & I_{\max }=\left(\sqrt{I_1}+\sqrt{I_2}\right)^2 \\ & I_{\min }=\left(\sqrt{I_1}-\sqrt{I_2}\right)^2 \\ & \frac{I_{\max }-I_{\min }}{I_{\max }+I_{\min…
