$A$ parallel beam of light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a coated glass plate. If $25 \%$ of the incident light is reflected from the upper surface and $50 \%$ of the light that enters the glass is reflected from the lower surface of the glass plate, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference region of the reflected light is

  • A
    $\left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}}{\frac{1}{2}-\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}}\right)^2$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{\frac{1}{4}+\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}}{\frac{1}{2}-\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}}\right)^2$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{5}$
