A) \[25:1\]
B) \[5:1\]
C) \[9:4\]
D) \[25:16\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let \[{{a}_{1}}\] and \[{{a}_{2}}\] be amplitudes of the two waves. For maximum intensity \[{{I}_{\max }}={{({{a}_{2}}+{{a}_{1}})}^{2}}\] For minimum intensity \[{{I}_{\min }}={{({{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}\] Given, \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}=\frac{25}{1}=\frac{{{({{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}}{{{({{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{5}{1}\Rightarrow \frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{2}\] (law of componendo and dividendo) Also, Intensity\[\propto {{(amplitude)}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{9}{4}\]
