Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I and 16 I, respectively, superimpose over each other. The resultant intensity in the constructive interference is

  1. A 16I
  2. B 25I
  3. C 9I
  4. D 15I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 25I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_{resultant} = (\sqrt{I_1} + \sqrt{I_2})^2\) \(I_{resultant} = (\sqrt{I} + \sqrt{16I})^2\) \(I_{resultant} = (\sqrt{I} + 4\sqrt{I})^2\) \(I_{resultant} = (5\sqrt{I})^2\) \(I_{resultant} = 25I\)
