Optics Question 1075

Question: In the Young’s double slit experiment, the ratio of intensities of bright and dark fringes is 9. This means that

[IIT 1982]

Options:

A) The intensities of individual sources are 5 and 4 units respectively

B) The intensities of individual sources are 4 and 1 units respectively

C) The ratio of their amplitudes is 3

D) The ratio of their amplitudes is 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

ImaxImin=9(a1+a2a1a2)2=9a1+a2a1a2=3

a1a2=3+131a1a2=2.

Therefore I1:I2=4:1
