In Young's double slit experiment, the ratio of maximum and minimum intensities in the fringe system is \(9: 1\). The ratio of amplitudes of coherent sources is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2 : 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Assume, Young's double slit experiment, amplitudes corresponding to the sources \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) be \(a_1\) and \(a_2\) and intensities be \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) respectively. So, \(I_{\max } \propto a_{\max }^2\) and \(I_{\min } \propto a_{\text {min }}^2\)…
