In Youngs Experiment The Ratio Of Maximum To Minimum Intensities Physics QuestionIn Youngs Experiment The Ratio Of Maximum To Minimum Intensities Physics Question

In Young’s experiment, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensities of the fringe system is 4:1. The amplitudes of the coherent sources are in the ratio

Options

(a) (4:1)
(b) (3:1)
(c) (2:1)
(d) (1:1)

Correct Answer:

(3:1)

Explanation:

I(max) / I(min) = (ɑ₁ + ɑ₂)² / (ɑ₁ – ɑ₂)²

⇒ 4 / 1 = (ɑ₁ + ɑ₂)² / (ɑ₁ – ɑ₂)²

⇒ (ɑ₁ + ɑ₂) / (ɑ₁ – ɑ₂) = 2 / 1

⇒ ɑ₁ + ɑ₂ = 2 (ɑ₁ – ɑ₂)

⇒ 3ɑ₂ = ɑ₁

⇒ ɑ₁ / ɑ₂ = 3 / 1 = 3 : 1
