Let us consider interference between two sources of intensities \( I \) and \( 4I \). What will be the intensity at points where the phase difference is \( \pi \) ?

  1. A \( I \)
  2. B \( 5I \)
  3. C \( 9I \)
  4. D \(0 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( I \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I_{res} = I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1 I_2} \cos(\phi) \) \( I_{res} = I + 4I + 2\sqrt{I \cdot 4I} \cos(\pi) \) \( I_{res} = 5I + 2(2I)(-1) \) \( I_{res} = 5I - 4I \) \( I_{res} = I \)
