path difference 0,lambda/4

so phase difference 0, pi/2

in case of zero, intensity= (2*sqrt(I))^2=4I

in cese of pi/2 I+I+2*sqrt(I*I)cos(pi/2)=2I

so I at P/I at Q=2

thanks and regards

Dear student,

Pleae find the solution to your problem.

path difference = 0, λ/4

so phase difference = 0, π/2

in case of 0 phase difference, intensity = (2√I)²= 4I

in cese of π/2 phase difference, I + I + 2√(I*I)cos(π/2) = 2I

so (I at P):(I at Q) = 2:1

Thanks and regards,

Kushagra
