Two beams of ligth having intensities I ...

Two beams of ligth having intensities I and 4I interface to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is `(pi)/(2)` at point A and `pi` at point B. Then the difference between the resultant intensities at A and B is

A

2I

B

4I

C

5I

D

7I

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`I_(A)=I+4I+2sqrt(4I^(2))cos((pi)/(2))=5I`
`I_(B)=I+4I+2sqrt(4I^(2))cospi=I`
So difference `I_(A)-I_(B)=4I`
