Two sinusoidal waves of intensity I having same frequency and same amplitude interferes constructively at a point. The resultant intensity at a point will be

A

I

B

`I//2`

C

`I//4`

D

`I//3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since, Resultant intensity
`I_("max")= 4 I_(0)`
If one source is removed,
`I._("max")= I_(0)= (I)/(4)`
