Correct answer
B9 : 1
Step-by-step explanation
Given the amplitude ratio, , we can find the maximum and minimum intensities using the formula:
Substituting the given amplitude ratio:
Thus, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern is:
Substituting the given amplitude ratio:
Thus, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern is:
