Optics Question 1039

Question: Two beams of light having intensities I and 4I interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is π2 at point A and p at point B. Then the difference between the resultant intensities at A and B is

[IIT JEE (Screening) 2001]

Options:

A) 2I

B) 4I

C) 5I

D) 7I

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

At point A, resultant intensity IA=I1+I2=5I;

and at point B IB=I1+I2+2I1I2cosπ=5I+4I

IB=9I so IBIA=4I.
