Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. After interference, the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is \(16\). The intensity of the waves are in the ratio
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(25 : 9\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {{I_1}} + \sqrt {{I_2}} }}{{\sqrt {{I_1}} - \sqrt {{I_2}} }}} \right) = \frac{{16}}{1}\) ; \(\frac{\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}}}{\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}}}=\frac{4}{1}\)
\( \Rightarrow \quad 3\sqrt {{I_1}} = 5\sqrt {{I_2}} \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{25}{9}\)
