MCQ
Two waves of intensity $ I $ undergo Interference. The maximum intensity obtained is
  • A
    $I / 2$
  • B
    $I$
  • C
    $2I$
  • $4I$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$4I$
d
(d)For maximum intensity $\phi = 0^\circ $
 $I = {I_1} + {I_2} + 2\sqrt {{I_1}{I_2}} \cos \phi $$ = I + I + 2\sqrt {I\,I} \cos 0^\circ = 4I$
