    Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities\[I\]and\[4I\]are superposed. The maximum and minimum possible resulting intensities are

    A)  \[5I\]and O         

    B)  \[5I\] and\[3I\]

    C)  \[9I\] and I         

    D)  \[9I\] and\[3I\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Maximum intensity, \[{{I}_{\max }}={{(\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}+\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}})}^{2}}\] \[={{(\sqrt{I}+\sqrt{4I})}^{2}}\] \[=9I\] Minimum intensity\[{{I}_{\min }}={{(\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}-\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}})}^{2}}\] \[={{(\sqrt{I}-\sqrt{4I})}^{2}}\] \[=I\]
