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

    A)  \[5I\,\,\text{and}\,\,I\]

    B)                         \[5I\,\,\text{and}\,\,3I\]             

    C)         \[9I\,\,\text{and}\,\,I\]               

    D)         \[9I\,\,\text{and}\,\text{3}\,I\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{I}_{1}}=I,\]\[{{I}_{2}}=4I\] \[{{I}_{\max }}={{(\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}+\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}})}^{2}}\]         \[={{(\sqrt{I}+\sqrt{4I})}^{2}}={{(3\sqrt{I})}^{2}}=9I\] \[{{I}_{\min }}={{(\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}-\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}})}^{2}}={{(\sqrt{I}-\sqrt{4I})}^{2}}\]      \[={{(-\sqrt{I})}^{2}}=I\]
