I1/I= 4/1 so a1/a2 = 2/1 so amax/ amin = 2+1/2-1 = 3/1 so Imax/ Imin= 9/1

now loudness L = 10 log(I/I0)

so difference of loudness = L1-L2 = 10 log (9I/I) = 10 log9 = 20 log3 

 

two coherent light sources A and B with seperation 2λ are placed the x-axis symmetrically about the origin. they emit light of wavelength λ. obtain the position of maximas on a circle of large radius R lying in the xy plane and with the center at origin

for maxima path diffrence should be integral multiple of λ.

It is given that two coherent light sources A and B with seperation 2λ are placed on the x-axis symmetrically about the origin, and we have to get the points of maxima in the circle so at the point where circle cuts the X axis (path diffrence = 2λ) and where circle cuts the Y axis (path difference = 0) will be the point of maxima. Besides it one point will also be present in the circle in first quadrant where path difference will be λ so it will be a maxima also. it means total 8 points are there

Use the formule I = I1 + I2 + 2 √I1 √I2 cosθ

here θ = 0

first convert cos into sin then calculate phase difference, its value will be π/2 + π/6 = 2π/3

now use the formula for resultant amplitude
