Two waves of intensity ratio $1:9$ cross each other at a point. The resultant intensities at the point are $I_1$ when the waves are incoherent and $I_2$ when the waves are coherent with a phase difference of $60^{\circ}$. If $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{10}{x}$,then $x = . . . . . . . . . . .$

Interference fringes are produced on a screen by using two light sources of intensities $I$ and $9I$. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at the point $P$ and $\pi$ at the point $Q$ on the screen. The difference between the resultant intensities at point $P$ and $Q$ is (in $I$)

Two identical light waves having phase difference $\phi$ propagate in the same direction. When they superpose,the intensity of the resultant wave is proportional to

Considering interference between two sources of intensities $I$ and $4I$,the intensity at a point where the phase difference is $\pi$ is $(\cos \pi = -1)$.

Two plane polarized light waves combine at a certain point whose electric field components are $E_1 = E_0 \sin(\omega t)$ and $E_2 = E_0 \sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3})$. Find the amplitude of the resultant wave.
