Solution

The correct option is C 2:1
Relation between intensity f
Amplitude
I=kA2cos2(|theta2)
When both the waves reach in the same phase, then
θ=0o
I1=kA2cos2(0o2)
I1=kA2[cos0o=1] ------- (1)
When both the waves reach with phase difference 90o.
θ=90o
I2=kA2cos2(90o2)
I2=kA2cos2(45o)
I2=kA2(12) ----- (2)
I1I2=kA2kA2(1/2)=21
