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

    A)  5\[I\]and O                       

    B)  5\[I\] and 3\[I\]

    C)  9\[I\] and\[I\]                  

    D)  9\[I\] and 3\[I\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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