    If the ratio of amplitude of two waves is 4 : 3. Then the ratio of maximum and minimum intensity will be [MHCET 2000]

    A)            16 : 18                                     

    B)            18 : 16

    C)            49 : 1                                        

    D)            1 : 49

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}={{\left( \frac{\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}+1}{\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}-1} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{\frac{4}{3}+1}{\frac{4}{3}-1} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{49}{1}\]
