    The ratio of intensities of two waves is 9 : 1. If they superimpose, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity will be:

    A) 3 : 1                       

    B)        4 : 9                       

    C)        4 : 1                       

    D)         1 : 9

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    We know that intensity is directly proportional to the square of amplitude, hence intensity \[{{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\] \[\sqrt{200}m/s\] \[\sqrt{400}m/s\]  \[\sqrt{500}m/s\] Resultant intensity at a point is given by \[\sqrt{800}m/s\] where \[mg{{R}_{e}}\] is phase difference Maximum intensity \[mg{{R}_{e}}\] \[mg{{R}_{e}}\]  \[mg{{R}_{e}}\]        ?..(1) Minimum intensity \[\sqrt{3}\] \[\frac{R}{2}\]  \[4.1\times {{10}^{-5}}wb\]       ??(2) Dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get \[5.2\times {{10}^{-5}}wb\] Note: Maximum intensity is also known as constructive interference and minimum intensity is known as destructive interference.
