    The ratio of intensities of two waves is 1: 9.The waves interfere, what will be the ratio of maximum and minimum intensities?

    A) 1 : 4                                       

    B) 4 : 1

    C) 3 : 2                                       

    D) 2 : 3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given:   \[{{I}_{1}}:{{I}_{2}}=1:9\] But, intensity\[I\propto {{a}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[a_{1}^{2}.a_{2}^{2}=1:9\]                 \[{{a}_{1}}.{{a}_{2}}=1:3\] Let \[{{a}_{1}}=a,{{a}_{2}}=3a\] Therefore, \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}=\frac{{{({{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}}{{{({{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}})}^{2}}}\]                 \[={{\left( \frac{4a}{2a} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{4}{1}\]
