Two coherent monochromatic beams of intensities \(I\) and \(4 I\) respectively are superposed. The maximum and minimum intensitien in the reaulting pattern are
- A 5I and 3I
- B 9I and 3I
- C 4I and I
- D 9I and I
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 9I and I
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
We know that The maximum intensities \[ I_{\max }=\left(\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}}\right)^{2} \] The minimum intensities \[ I_{\min }=\left(\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}}\right)^{2} \] So, the ratio of the maximum and minimum of intensities is…
