    Two waves having intensities in the ratio of 9 : 1 produce interference. The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity is equal to

    A)  10 : 8                                    

    B)  9 : 1

    C)  4 : 1                                      

    D)  2 : 1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                    \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{a_{1}^{2}}{a_{2}^{2}}=\frac{9}{1}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{1}\]              Then,    \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}=\frac{{{({{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}}{{{({{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{{{(3+1)}^{2}}}{{{(3-1)}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{{{(4)}^{2}}}{{{(2)}^{2}}}=\frac{16}{4}\]                 \[=\frac{4}{1}\] Thus, \[{{I}_{\max }}:{{I}_{\min }}=4:1\]
