An interference pattern is obtained with two coherent sources of intensity ratio n : 1. The ratio $$\mathrm{{{{I_{\max }} - {I_{\min }}} \over {{I_{\max }} + {I_{\min }}}}}$$ will be maximum if

In a Young's double slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference between the interfering waves is $$\lambda$$, ($$\lambda$$ being the wavelength of light used) is I. The intensity at a point where the path difference is $${\lambda \over 4}$$ will be (assume two waves have same amplitude)

In Young's double slit experiment with a monochromatic light, maximum intensity is 4 times the minimum intensity in the interference pattern. What is the ratio of the intensities of the two interfering waves?
