Wave Optics

JEE Main level, single correct, medium

21 of 191

Question 21 of 191

In an interference experiment the ratio of amplitudes of coherent waves is $\dfrac{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}=\dfrac{1}{3}$ . The ratio of maximum and minimum intensities of fringes will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) $4$

\dfrac{{I}_{max}}{{I}_{min}}={\left(\dfrac{{a}_{1}+{a}_{2}}{{a}_{1}-{a}_{2}}\right)}^{2}={\left(\dfrac{{a}_{1}/{a}_{2}+1}{{a}_{1}/{a}_{2}-1}\right)}^{2}={\left(\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}+1}{\dfrac{1}{3}-1}\right)}^{2}

{I}_{max} : {I}_{min}=4:1
