Question

The amplitude of the light waves emerging from the two slits in Youngs experiment is in the ratio of 2: 3. The intensity of the minimum to that of the consecutive maximum will be in the ratio of: (A) 2: 3 (B) 4: 9 (C) 1: 9 (D) none of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Amplitude at the minimum is 3 - 2 = 1. That at the maximum is 3+2=5 Hence intensity will be in the ratio 1: 25.

Q. The amplitude of the light waves emerging from the two slits in Youngs experiment is in the ratio of 2 : 3. The intensity of the minimum to that of the consecutive maximum will be in the ratio of:

2 : 3

4 : 9

1 : 9

none of the above

Amplitude at the minimum is 3 - 2 = 1. That at the maximum is 3+2=5 Hence intensity will be in the ratio 1 : 25.
