Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the intensity of light at a point of constructive interference is I, what is the intensity at a point of destructive interference?
  • Step 1: Understand what constructive interference means. It occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a larger intensity.
  • Step 2: Know that at a point of constructive interference, the intensity is given as I.
  • Step 3: Understand what destructive interference means. It occurs when two waves combine in such a way that they cancel each other out.
  • Step 4: Realize that when waves cancel each other out completely, the resulting intensity is zero.
  • Step 5: Conclude that at a point of destructive interference, the intensity is 0.
