An unpolarised light beam of intensity $$2 I_{0}$$ is passed through a polaroid P and then through another polaroid Q which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of $$30^{\circ}$$ relative to that of P. The intensity of the emergent light is

Two coherent sources of light interfere. The intensity ratio of two sources is $$1: 4$$. For this interference pattern if the value of $$\frac{I_{\max }+I_{\min }}{I_{\max }-I_{\min }}$$ is equal to $$\frac{2 \alpha+1}{\beta+3}$$, then $$\frac{\alpha}{\beta}$$ will be :

In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is $$12 \mathrm{~mm}$$. If the entire arrangement is placed in water of refractive index $$\frac{4}{3}$$, then the fringe width becomes (in mm):

Find the ratio of maximum intensity to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern if the widths of the two slits in Young's experiment are in the ratio of 9 : 16. (Assuming intensity of light is directly proportional to the width of slits)
