Question

Two coherent monochromatic light beam of intensities I and 4I are suspeeposed. The maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are

Options

A.5 I and 3 I
B.5 I and I
C.9 I and I
D.9 I and 3 I

Solution

Imax = (√I1 + √I2)2 = (√4I + √I)2 = 9I
Imin = (√I1 - √I2)2 = (√4I - √I)2 = I
