Two monochromatic light beams have intensities in the ratio 1:9. An interference pattern is obtained by these beams. The ratio of the intensities of maximum to minimum is _______.
- A \(8: 1\)
- B \(9: 1\)
- C \(3: 1\)
- D \(4: 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(4: 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }}=\frac{\left(\sqrt{I_1}+\sqrt{I_2}\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{I_1}-\sqrt{I_2}\right)^2} \Rightarrow \frac{(4)^2}{(2)^2} \Rightarrow \frac{16}{4}=4\)
