  • A
    $I_1 + I_2$
  • B
    $I_1^2 + I_2^2$
  • C
    $(I_1 + I_2)^2$
  • D

Two light rays having the same wavelength $\lambda$ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first ray travels a path $L_1$ through a medium of refractive index $\mu_1$,while the second ray travels a path of length $L_2$ through a medium of refractive index $\mu_2$. The two waves are then combined to observe interference. The phase difference between the two waves is

Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. After interference,the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is $16$. The ratio of the intensities of the waves is:
