Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

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

2 : 3

B

16 : 81

C

25 : 169

D

25 : 1

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The intensity ratio of maxima to minima in interference is given by (I₁ + I₂)²/(I₁ - I₂)². Substituting the given intensity ratio, the result is 25:1.
