JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Wave Nature and Interference of Light

  • question_answer
    If two light waves having same frequency have intensity ratio 4 : 1 and they interfere, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the pattern will be  [BHU 1995; MP PMT 1995; DPMT 1999; CPMT 2003]

    A)            9 : 1                                          

    B)            3 : 1

    C)            25 : 9                                        

    D)            16 : 25

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}={{\left( \frac{\sqrt{\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}}+1}{\sqrt{\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}}-1} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{\sqrt{\frac{4}{1}}+1}{\sqrt{\frac{4}{1}}-1} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{9}{1}\]
