Question 112: Wave Optics

Question

The light waves from two coherent sources have same intensity I
1
= I
2
= I
0
. In interference pattern the intensity of light at minima is zero. What will be the intensity of light at maxima?

Accepted Answer

$${I_{\max }} = {\left( {\sqrt {{I_1}}  + \sqrt {{I_2}} } \right)^2}$$
= 4 I
