Light waves of intensities \(I\) and \(9I\) interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the waves at point \(P\) is \(\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\) and \(2\pi\) at other point \(Q\). The ratio of intensities at \(P\) and \(Q\) is:
1. \(8:5\)
2. \(5:8\)
3. \(1:4\)
4. \(9:1\)

In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is \(\lambda\) is \(K\), (\(\lambda\) being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\) will be:
1. \(K\)
2. \(\frac{K}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{K}{2}\)
4. zero

An interference pattern is obtained with two coherent light sources of intensity ratio \(n.\) In the interference pattern, the ratio of their intensities \(\left(\frac{I_{max}-I_{min}}{I_{max}+I_{min}}\right)\) will be:
1. \(\dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{n+1}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{n}}{n+1}\)
3. \(\dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{(n+1)^2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{n}}{(n+1)^2}\)
