Two waves of same frequency and same amplitude from two monochromatic sources are allowed to superpose at a certain point. If in one case, the phase difference is 0 and in other case it is 
, then the ratio of the intensities in the two cases will be
A
B
C
D
None of the above
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When phase difference is 0 , intensity is maximum, i.e., 
When 
or 
,
The intensity will be 
The desired ratio is 
.
