Two coherent light beams of intensityIand4Iare superposed. If the maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam areImaxandImin, thenImax−Imin=nI. Find the value ofn.

Answer:
8.00
Solution:

AsI∝a2ora∝I,  whereais the amplitude of the wave.

∴a1a2=I⁡4I⁡

⇒a1a2=12

I⁡maxI⁡min=a1+a2a1-a22

=1+21-22=91

∴I⁡max=9I⁡,I⁡min=I⁡

Now,Imax−Imin=8I

⇒n=8
