  • A
    $I_{1}+I_{2}$
  • B
    $(\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}})^{2}$
  • C
    $(\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}})^{2}$
  • D
    $2(I_{1}+I_{2})$

Two monochromatic light waves of amplitudes $3A$ and $2A$ interfering at a point have a phase difference of $60^{\circ}$. The intensity at that point will be proportional to.......$A^2$

Four monochromatic and coherent sources of light,emitting waves in phase of wavelength $\lambda$,are placed at the points $x = 0, d, 2d$,and $3d$ on the $x$-axis. The intensity of the waves reaching a point $P$ far away on the $+x$ axis from each of the four sources is almost the same,and equal to $I_0$. Then,

Interference fringes are produced on a screen by using two light sources of intensities $I$ and $9I$. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at the point $P$ and $\pi$ at the point $Q$ on the screen. The difference between the resultant intensities at point $P$ and $Q$ is (in $I$)
