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 $I$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $7$

Two identical radiators have a separation of $d = \lambda /4$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the waves emitted by either source. The initial phase difference between the sources is $\pi /4$. Then the intensity on the screen at a distant point situated at an angle $\theta = 30^\circ$ from the radiators is (here $I_o$ is the intensity at that point due to one radiator alone):

The intensities of two waves are $2$ and $3$ units,respectively. The average intensity of light in the interference region will be ......

If an interference pattern has maximum and minimum intensities in a $36:1$ ratio,then what will be the ratio of the amplitudes?

$A$ beam with wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a stack of partially reflecting planes with separation $d$. The angle $\theta$ that the beam should make with the planes so that the beams reflected from successive planes may interfere constructively is (where $n = 1, 2, \dots$)
