Question
Two incoherent EM waves of intensities $9 I_{0}$ and $16 I_{0}$ travel in the same direction in the same region of space. What is the intensity of EM radiation in this region?
Step 1
They are traveling in the same direction in the same region of space. We need to find the total intensity of EM radiation in this region. Show more…

Coherent light from a laser is split into two beams with intensities $I_{0}$ and $4 I_{0},$ respectively. What is the intensity of the light when the beams are recombined? If there is more than one possibility, give the range of possibilities. (tutorial: two waves).
Two waves having amplitudes of 5 and 8 units and equal frequencies come together at a point in space. If they meet with a phase difference of $5 \pi / 8 \mathrm{rad}$, find the resultant intensity relative to the sum of the two separate intensities.
Two coherent waves with intensities $9 \mathrm{I}$ and $16 \mathrm{I}$ are reaching a point with phase difference zero. At the point of interference, the intensity is (a) $7 \mathrm{I}$ (b) $25 I$ (c) $36 \mathrm{I}$ (d) $49 \mathrm{I}$
