Two beams of monochromatic light with intensities 64 mW and 4 mW interfere constructively to produce an intensity of 100 mW. If one of the beams is shifted by an angle θ, the intensity is reduced to 84 mW. The magnitude of θ is

  1. A 30°
  2. B 60°
  3. C 45°
  4. D cos-113
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 60°

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: Intensities of two beams of monochromatic light I1=64 mW and I2=4 mW. Applying the formula of resultant intensity, I=I1+I2+2I1I2cosθ. Putting the values from the question, 84=64+4+2×8×2×cosθ cosθ=12 θ=60°
