Two monochromatic coherent light beams \(A\) and \(B\) have intensities \(L\) and \(\frac{L}{4},\) respectively. If these beams are superposed, the maximum and minimum intensities will be

  1. A \(\frac{9 L}{4}, \frac{L}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5 L}{4}, 0\)
  3. C \(\frac{5 L}{2}, 0\)
  4. D \(2 L, \frac{L}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{9 L}{4}, \frac{L}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For maximum intensity, \[ I_{\max }=I_{1}+I_{2}+2 \sqrt{I_{1} I_{2}} \cos \delta \]…
