Correct answer: 24
- For two coherent beams with intensities and , the maximum and minimum intensities in interference are:
- Here,
So,
- Maximum intensity:
- Minimum intensity:
- Difference between maximum and minimum intensities:
Given this difference is , we get
Therefore, the required integer is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer:
Stored correct answer = 24
Our derived answer also = 24, so they agree.
