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

Two light beams of intensities in the ratio of \(9: 4\) are allowed to interfere. The ratio of the intensity of maxima and minima will be

  1. A \(2: 3\)
  2. B \(16: 81\)
  3. C \(25: 169\)
  4. D \(25: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(25: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}=\frac{3}{2}\) \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{ I _{1}}+\sqrt{ I _{2}}}{\sqrt{ I _{1}}-\sqrt{ I _{2}}}\right)^{2}=5^{2}=25\)
