The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the wave amplitudes \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \) given that the intensity ratio between bright and dark fringes in Young's double slit experiment is 3:1. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship Between Intensity and Amplitude**: The intensity \( I \) of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. Therefore, we can express the intensities of the two waves as: \[ I_1 \propto A_1^2 \quad \text{and} \quad I_2 \propto A_2^2 \] 2. **Setting Up the Intensity Ratio**: Given that the intensity ratio \( \frac{I_1}{I_2} = 3 \), we can write: \[ \frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{A_1^2}{A_2^2} = 3 \] 3. **Expressing the Ratio of Amplitudes**: From the intensity ratio, we can derive the ratio of amplitudes: \[ \frac{A_1^2}{A_2^2} = 3 \implies \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \sqrt{3} \] 4. **Final Result**: Therefore, the ratio of the amplitudes \( A_1 \) to \( A_2 \) is: \[ A_1 : A_2 = \sqrt{3} : 1 \] ### Conclusion: The value of the wave amplitudes ratio is \( \sqrt{3} : 1 \). ---
