उत्तर

Data: I1 : I2 = 2 : 1

If E10 and E20 are the amplitudes of the interfering waves, the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity in the fringe system is

`("I"_"max")/("I"_"min") = (("E"_10 + "E"_20)/("E"_10 - "E"_20))^2 = (("r + 1")/("r - 1"))^2`

where r = `"E"_10/"E"_20`

∴ `"I"_1/"I"_2 = (("E"_10)/("E"_20))^2 = "r"^2`

∴ r = `sqrt("I"_1/"I"_2) = sqrt2`

∴ `("I"_"max")/("I"_"min") = ((sqrt2 + 1)/(sqrt2 - 1))^2 = (2.414/0.414)^2 = (5.83)^2`

= 33.99 ≈ 34.

∴ The ratio of the intensities of the bright and dark fringes in the resulting interference pattern is 34: 1.
