Q79 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 2) · Physics

Two light beams of intensities in the ratio of 9:4 are allowed to interfere. The ratio of the intensity of maxima and minima will be :

  • A
    9:4
  • B
    16:81
  • C
    25:169
  • Correct answer
    D
    25:1

Solution

Data provided in the question is, the ratio of the intensities,

I1I2=94  

After taking square root of above equation on both sides, we get,

 I1I2=32

Apply componendo and dividendo,
⇒I1+I2I1-I2=3+23-2=51
⇒I1+I2I1-I22=ImaxImin=251

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
