Light waves producing interference have their amplitudes in the ratio 3: 2 . The intensity ratio of maximum and minimum of interference fringes is
Options
- A36: 1
- B9: 4
- C25: 1
- D6: 4
Correct answer
C. 25: 1
Step-by-step solution
Ratio of amplitudes, a₁ a₂ = 3 2 aligned a₁ & =3 k, a₂=2 k I_ I_ mix & = (a₁+a₂ )^2 (a₁-a₂ )^2 & = (3 k+2 k)^2 (3 k-2 k)^2 = 25 1 I_ man : I_ & =25: 1 aligned
