Two light beams having intensities $I$ and $9I$ interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at point $P$ and $\pi$ at point $Q$. The difference between the resultant intensities at $P$ and $Q$ will be ....... $I$.

Two coherent sources of intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ produce an interference pattern on a screen. The maximum intensity in the interference pattern is

In an interference experiment, the path difference between two interfering waves at a point $A$ on the screen is $\lambda/3$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of these waves, and at another point $B$ the path difference is $\lambda/6$. The ratio of intensities at points $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . .

In an interference pattern,two waves of intensities $I$ and $4I$ are used. At point $A$,the phase difference is $\frac{\pi}{2}$,and at point $B$,the phase difference is $\pi$. The difference in intensities at points $A$ and $B$ is: (in $I$)

View Solution

Two light waves having the same wavelength $\lambda$ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first wave travels a path $L_{1}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{1}$ while the second wave travels a path of length $L_{2}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{2}$. After this the phase difference between the two waves is:
