    Two beams of light having intensities \[I\] and 4\[I\] interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase between the beams is \[\pi /2\] at point A and \[\pi \] at point B. Then, the difference between the resultant intensities at A and B is

    A) \[2I\]

    B) \[4I\]

    C) \[5I\]                

    D) \[7I\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[I(\phi )={{I}_{1}}+{{I}_{2}}+2\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}{{I}_{2}}}\cos \phi \] Here, \[{{I}_{1}}=I\]and \[{{I}_{2}}=4I\] At point A, \[\phi =\frac{\pi }{2}\] \[\therefore {{I}_{A}}=I+4I=5I\] At point B, \[\phi =\pi \] \[\therefore {{I}_{B}}=I+4I-4I=I\] \[\therefore {{I}_{A}}-{{I}_{B}}=4I\]
