The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity due to the superposition of two waves is $\frac{49}{9}$. Then the ratio of the intensities of the component waves is:

  • A
    $6.25$
  • B
    $0.64$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{49}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{49}$

The figure shows a two-slit arrangement with a source that emits unpolarised light. $P$ is a polariser with an axis whose direction is not given. If $I_0$ is the intensity of the principal maxima when no polariser is present, calculate in the present case, the intensity of the principal maxima as well as of the first minima.

In a Young's double slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of light used) is $I$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,then $\frac{I}{I_0} = $ . . . . . .

Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at point $A$ and $\pi$ at point $B$. Then the difference between the resultant intensities at $A$ and $B$ is (in $I$)

In Young's double-slit experiment,the ratio of intensities of bright and dark fringes is $9$. What is the ratio of the intensities of the sources?
