In interference of light, a point is bright if the path difference between the two beams arriving at that point is

A

an integral multiple of the wavelengths

B

an odd multiple of the wavelengths

C

an odd multiple of half of the wavelengths

D

an even multiple of half of the wavelengths

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(a_(1))/(a_(2))=(4)/(3), (I_("max"))/(I_("min"))= ?`
`=(a_(1))/(a_(2))=(4)/(3) :. a_(2)(3a_(1))/(4)`
Now, `(I_("max"))/(I_("min"))+((a_(1)+a_(2))^(2))/((a_(1)-a_(2))^(2))`
`((a_(1)+(3a_(1))/(4))^(2))/((a_(1)-(3a_(1))/(4))^(2)`
`=(49)/(1)`
