    Two coherent sources of intensities, I1 and I2 produce an interference pattern. The maximum intensity in the interference pattern will be                                       [UPSEAT 2001; MP PET 2001]

    A)            I1 + I2                                       

    B)            \[I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}\]

    C)            (I1 + I2)2                                  

    D)            \[{{(\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}+\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}})}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Resultant intensity \[{{I}_{R}}={{I}_{1}}+{{I}_{2}}+2\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}{{I}_{2}}}\,\cos \varphi \] For maximum \[{{I}_{R}},\] \[\varphi ={{0}^{o}}\] Þ \[{{I}_{R}}={{I}_{1}}+{{I}_{2}}+2\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}{{I}_{2}}}={{\left( \sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}+\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]
