    The ratio of maximum and minimum intensities in an interference pattern is 36 1. The ratio of the amplitudes of the two interfering waves will be

    A)  5 : 7                                      

    B)  7 : 4

    C)  4 : 7                                      

    D)  7 : 5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Let \[{{a}_{1}},{{a}_{2}}\] be amplitudes for intensities \[{{I}_{1}},{{I}_{2}}\]respectively. Then                 \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}={{\left( \frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\] Given,   \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}=\frac{36}{1}={{\left( \frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\left( \frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=6\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{7}{5}\]
