Two coherent sources of intensity ratio \(9: 4\) produce interference. The intensity ratio of maxima and minima of the interference pattern is

  1. A \(13:6\)
  2. B \(5:1\)
  3. C \(25:1\)
  4. D \(3:2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(25:1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { } \frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }}=\left(\frac{\sqrt{I_1}+\sqrt{I_2}}{\sqrt{I_1}-\sqrt{I_2}}\right)^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{9}+\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{4}}\right)^2 \\ & =\left(\frac{3+2}{3-2}\right)^2=25\end{aligned}\)
