JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

\(n\) identical waves each of intensity \(I_0\) interfere with each other. The ratio of maximum intensities if the interference is \((i)\) coherent and \((ii)\) incoherent is :

  1. A \(n^2\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{n}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{n^2}\)
  4. D \(n\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(n\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
