The light waves from two coherent sources have same intensity $I_{1} = I_{2} = I_{0}$. In the interference pattern,the intensity of light at minima is zero. What will be the intensity of light at maxima?

  • A
    $I_{0}$
  • B
    $2 I_{0}$
  • C
    $5 I_{0}$
  • D

$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are coherent point sources of light located in the $xy$-plane at points $(0,0)$ and $(0,3\lambda)$ respectively. Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light. At which one of the following points (given as coordinates) will the intensity of interference be maximum?

The total energy carried by a light wave when it travels from a rarer to a non-reflecting and non-absorbing medium:

Two light waves of intensities $I$ and $2I$ superimpose on each other. If the path difference between the light waves reaching a point is $12.5 \%$ of the wavelength of the light,then the resultant intensity at the point is (Both the light waves have same wavelength).

The two coherent sources of equal intensity produce a maximum intensity of $100$ units at a point. If the intensity of one of the sources is reduced by $36\%$ by reducing its width,then the intensity of light at the same point will be:

When two light waves of equal intensity superimpose, the maximum intensity obtained is $I$. If the intensity of one of the waves is quadrupled, then the maximum intensity obtained is
