JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Wave Nature and Interference of Light

  • question_answer
    Two waves have their amplitudes in the ratio 1 : 9. The maximum and minimum intensities when they interfere are in the ratio                                                             [KCET 2002]

    A)            \[\frac{25}{16}\]                 

    B)            \[\frac{16}{26}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{9}\]                      

    D)            \[\frac{9}{1}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}={{\left( \frac{\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}+1}{\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}-1} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{\frac{1}{9}+1}{\frac{1}{9}-1} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{5}{4} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{25}{16}.\]
