Consider two coherent, monochromatic (wavelengthλ) sources,S1andS2, separated by a distanced. The ratio of intensities ofS1and that ofS2(which is responsible for interference at pointP, where detector is located) is4. The distance of pointPfromS1is (if the resultant intensity at pointPis equal to94times of intensity ofS1) (Given:∠S2S1P=90°,d>0andnis a positive integer)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

94intensity ofS1=9times of intensityS2

Intensity of maxima =I1+I22=9I2

⇒S2P-S1P=nλfor maxima

d2+x2-x=nλ    x=d2-n2λ22nλ
