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

The ratio of intensities at two points \(P\) and \(Q\) on the screen in a Young's double slit experiment where phase difference between two wave of same amplitude are \(\pi / 3\) and \(\pi / 2\), respectively are

  1. A \(1: 3\)
  2. B \(3: 1\)
  3. C \(3: 2\)
  4. D \(2: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I _{ vet }= I _1+ I _2+2 \sqrt{ I _1 I _2} \cos \phi\) \(= I _0+ I _0+2 I _0 \cos \frac{\pi}{3}\) \(=2 I _0+2 I _0 \times \frac{1}{2}=3 I _0\) \(I _{\text {net }}= I _0+ I _0+2 I _0 \cos 90^{\circ}=2 I _0\) \(\text { Ratio }=\frac{3}{2}\)
