Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce fringes on a screen. The phase difference between the beams at point $A$ is $\pi/2$ and at point $B$ is $2\pi$. Find the resultant intensities at points $A$ and $B$.

  • A
    $5I, 9I$
  • B
    $I, 9I$
  • C
    $4I, 9I$
  • D
    $5I, 5I$

Interference fringes are produced on a screen by using two light sources of intensities $I$ and $9I$. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at the point $P$ and $\pi$ at the point $Q$ on the screen. The difference between the resultant intensities at point $P$ and $Q$ is (in $I$)

Two waves having intensities in the ratio $25 : 4$ produce interference. The ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity is

Which of the following is conserved when light waves interfere?

Two point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ separated by a distance $10 \mu m$ emit light waves of wavelength $4 \mu m$ in phase. $A$ circular wire of radius $40 \mu m$ is placed around the sources as shown in the figure,where $O$ is the centre of the circle and $OS_1 = OS_2$. Determine the nature of the interference at points $A, B, C,$ and $D$.

The ratio of the intensities of two waves is $25 : 1$. If interference occurs,then the ratio of the maximum and minimum intensity should be:
