The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will calculate the intensities at points P, Q, and R using the formula for the intensity of two interfering beams. Then we will find the differences between the intensities and arrange them in ascending order. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Intensities of the Two Beams:** - Let the intensities of the two beams be \( I_1 = 9I \) and \( I_2 = 4I \). 2. **Use the Intensity Formula:** - The formula for the intensity at a point due to two interfering beams is: \[ I = I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1 I_2} \cos(\phi) \] where \( \phi \) is the phase difference. 3. **Calculate Intensity at Point P (Phase Difference = 30°):** - For point P: \[ I_P = 9I + 4I + 2 \sqrt{9I \cdot 4I} \cos(30° \] - Calculate \( \cos(30°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \): \[ I_P = 13I + 2 \cdot 6I \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] - Simplifying: \[ I_P = 13I + 6\sqrt{3}I \] 4. **Calculate Intensity at Point Q (Phase Difference = 45°):** - For point Q: \[ I_Q = 9I + 4I + 2 \sqrt{9I \cdot 4I} \cos(45°) \] - Calculate \( \cos(45°) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ I_Q = 13I + 2 \cdot 6I \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] - Simplifying: \[ I_Q = 13I + \frac{12I}{\sqrt{2}} = 13I + 6\sqrt{2}I \] 5. **Calculate Intensity at Point R (Phase Difference = 60°):** - For point R: \[ I_R = 9I + 4I + 2 \sqrt{9I \cdot 4I} \cos(60°) \] - Calculate \( \cos(60°) = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ I_R = 13I + 2 \cdot 6I \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] - Simplifying: \[ I_R = 13I + 6I = 19I \] 6. **Calculate Differences Between Intensities:** - \( I_P - I_Q \): \[ I_P - I_Q = (13I + 6\sqrt{3}I) - (13I + 6\sqrt{2}I) = (6\sqrt{3} - 6\sqrt{2})I \] - \( I_P - I_R \): \[ I_P - I_R = (13I + 6\sqrt{3}I) - 19I = (6\sqrt{3} - 6I) \] - \( I_Q - I_R \): \[ I_Q - I_R = (13I + 6\sqrt{2}I) - 19I = (6\sqrt{2} - 6I) \] 7. **Arrange the Differences in Ascending Order:** - We need to compare \( 6(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})I \), \( 6(\sqrt{2} - 1)I \), and \( 6(\sqrt{3} - 1)I \). - Since \( \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732 \) and \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414 \): - \( \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} \) is positive. - \( \sqrt{2} - 1 \) is also positive. - \( \sqrt{3} - 1 \) is positive and larger than the others. - Thus, the order is: - \( I_P - I_Q < I_Q - I_R < I_P - I_R \). ### Final Answer: The differences in intensities in ascending order are: \[ I_P - I_Q < I_Q - I_R < I_P - I_R \]
