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

The two light beams having intensities I and 9I interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) at point \(P\) and \(\pi\) at point \(Q\). Then the difference between the resultant intensities at \(P\) and \(Q\) will be.......\(I\)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I _{ P }= I +9 I +2 \sqrt{ I \times 9 I } \cos \frac{\pi}{2}\) \(I _{ P }=10\, I\) \(I _{ Q }= I +9 I +2 \sqrt{ I \times 9 I } \cos \pi\) \(=10 I -6 I =4 I\) \(\therefore I _{ P }- I _{ Q }=10 I -4 I =6 I\)
