The intensity ratio of the two interfering beams of light is \( \beta \). The value of \( \left[ \frac{I_{\text{max}} - I_{\text{min}}}{I_{\text{max}} + I_{\text{min}}} \right] \) is

  1. A \( 2\sqrt{\beta} \)
  2. B \( \frac{2\sqrt{\beta}}{(1 + \beta)} \)
  3. C \( \frac{2}{(1 + \beta)} \)
  4. D \( \frac{(1 + \beta)}{2\sqrt{\beta}} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \frac{2\sqrt{\beta}}{(1 + \beta)} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{I_{\text{max}} - I_{\text{min}}}{I_{\text{max}} + I_{\text{min}}} = \frac{(\sqrt{I_1} + \sqrt{I_2})^2 - (\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2})^2}{(\sqrt{I_1} + \sqrt{I_2})^2 + (\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2})^2} = \frac{4\sqrt{I_1I_2}}{2(I_1 + I_2)} = \frac{2\sqrt{I_1I_2}}{I_1 + I_2} \)…
