2 coherent sources whose intensity ratio is 81:1 produce interference fringe. calculate ratio of intensity of maxima and minima in fringe system

Answer»

ANSWER: The RATIO of the INTENSITY of MAXIMA and minima is 25:16.

Explanation:

Given that,

Ratio of intensity \dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \dfrac{81}{1}

We know that,

The intensity of maxima is

I_{max} = (\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}})^{2}...(I)

Put the value of I_{1} and I_{2} in equation (I)

I_{max} = 100

The intensity of minima

I_{min} = (\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}})^{2}....(II)

Put the value of I_{1} and I_{2} in equation (II)

I_{min} = 64

Now, the ratio of the intensity of maxima and minima

\dfrac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}= \dfrac{100}{64}

\dfrac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}= \dfrac{25}{16}

Hence, the ratio of the intensity of maxima and minima is 25:16.
