The interference pattern is obtained with two coherent light sources of intensity ratio $4:1$. If the ratio $\frac{I_{\max} + I_{\min}}{I_{\max} - I_{\min}}$ is $\frac{5}{x}$,then the value of $x$ will be equal to:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $4$

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 maximum and minimum intensities in an interference pattern is $36: 1$. The ratio of the amplitude of the two interfering waves will be

Two light beams of intensities $I$ and $4I$ produce an interference pattern on a screen. If the phase difference between them at point $A$ is $\pi/2$ and at point $B$ is $2\pi$,find the difference between the resultant intensities at points $A$ and $B$.

If two light waves reaching at a point produce destructive interference,then the condition of phase difference is:

Two coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ and a screen are arranged as shown in the figure. If the distance between the two coherent sources is $n \lambda$ and the distance of the screen from the nearer coherent source $S_2$ is $D$,then the distance of the first bright fringe on the screen from the point $O$ is (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light emitted by the coherent sources).
