Question
Figure here shows P and Q as two equally intense coherent sources emitting radiations of wavelength 20 m. The separation PQ is 5.0 m and phase of P is ahead of the phase of Q by . A, B and C are three distant points of observation equidistant from the mid-point of PQ. The intensity of radiations at A, B, C will bear the ratio
- 0 : 1 : 4
- 4 : 1 : 0
- 0 : 1 : 2
- 2 : 1 : 0
The correct answer is: 2 : 1 : 0
Since P is ahead of Q by and path difference between P and Q is Therefore at A, phase difference is zero, so intensity is 4I. At C it is zero and at B, the phase difference is , so intensity is 2I.
