In the figure,the intensity of waves arriving at $D$ from two coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $2I_0$ each. The wavelength of the wave is $\lambda = 8\,m$. The resultant intensity at $D$ will be:

  • A
    $4\,I_0$
  • B
    $I_0$
  • C
    $2\,I_0$
  • D
    Zero

Radio waves coming at an angle $\alpha$ to the vertical are received by a radar after reflection from a nearby water surface and directly. What should be the height of the antenna from the water surface so that it records a maximum intensity? (wavelength $= \lambda$)

If the ratio of maximum and minimum intensities is $36 : 1$ in an interference pattern,then the ratio of amplitudes of the interfering waves is
