Optics Question 855

Question: Two monochromatic light beams of intensity 16 and 9 units are interfering. The ratio of intensities of bright and dark parts of the resultant pattern is:

Options:

A) 169

B) 71

C) 71

D) 491

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Intensity (amplitude)

I1I2=169=a12a22a1=4 ; a2=3

Therefore the ratio of intensities of bright and dark parts IBrightIDark=(a1+a2)2(a1a2)2=(4+3)2(43)2=491
