Two sources with intensity `I_(0)` and `4I_(0)` respectively, interfere at a point in a medium. Find the ratio of
(i) maximum and minimum possible intensities,
(ii) ratio of amplitudes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`I_(max)=(sqrt(l_(1))+sqrt(l_(2)))^(2)`
Here, `l_(1)=l_(0)` and `l_(2)=4I_(0)`
`:. I_(max)=(sqrt(l_(0))+sqrt(4l_(0)))^(2)=9I_(0)`
and `l_("min")=(sqrt(l_(1))-sqrt(l_(2)))^(2)`
`=l_(0)`
