Two waves of same frequency and same amplitude from two monochromatic sources are allowed to superpose at a certain point. If in one case the phase difference is 0 and in other case it is `pi//2` then the ratio of the intensities in the two cases will beA. `1:1`B. `2:1`C. `4:1`D. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Where phase difference is 0, intensity is maximum
where, `phi=pi/2 or phi/2=pi/4`
the intensity will be `I=I_(max)"cos"^(2)phi/2=I_(max)/2`
`:.` The desired ratio is `2:1`
