Two coherent monochromatic beams of intensities 
and 
respectively, are superposed. Then, the maximum and minimum intensities in the resulting pattern are
A
and 
B
and 
C
and 
D
and 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
We know that,
The maximum intensity, 
…… .(i)
The minimum intensity, 
…… .(ii)
So, the ratio of the maximum and minimum intensities is
Hence, the maximum and minimum intensities in the resulting pattern are 
and 
.
