Two light waves of intensities I and 21 superimpose on each other, If the path difference between the light waves reaching a point is \(12.5 \%\) of the wavelength of the light, then the resultant intensify at the point is (Both the light waves have same wavelength)

  1. A I
  2. B 9 I
  3. C 3 I
  4. D 5 I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 5 I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For light waves, \(\mathrm{I}_1=\mathrm{I}, \mathrm{I}_2=2 \mathrm{I}, \Delta \mathrm{x}=\frac{12.5}{100} \lambda=\frac{\lambda}{8}\) \(\therefore\) Phase different, \(\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \Delta x=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{\lambda}{8}=\frac{\pi}{4}\)…
