A ray of light of intensity is incident on a parallel glass-slab at the point and it undergoes partial reflection and refraction as shown in the figure. At each reflection,& of the incident energy is reflected and the rest is transmitted. If the rays and undergo interference, then the ratio is


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
From figure and

By using \dfrac{{I}_\max}{{I}_\min} = {\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{{I }_{2}}{{I }_{1}}} + 1}{\sqrt{\dfrac{{I }_{2}}{{I }_{1}}} - 1}\right)}^{2} = {\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{1 6}} + 1}{\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{1 6}} - 1}\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{4 9}{1}

By using \dfrac{{I}_\max}{{I}_\min} = {\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{{I }_{2}}{{I }_{1}}} + 1}{\sqrt{\dfrac{{I }_{2}}{{I }_{1}}} - 1}\right)}^{2} = {\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{1 6}} + 1}{\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{1 6}} - 1}\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{4 9}{1}
