In the figure below, P and Q are two equally intense coherent sources emitting radiation of wavelength 20 m. The separation between P and Q is 5 m and the phase of P is ahead of that of Q by 90°. A, B and C are three distinct points of observation, each equidistant from the midpoint of PQ. The intensities of radiation at A, B, C will be in the ratio:

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:Φ? = π/2 - (2π/λ)x = π/2 - (2π/20)5 = 0
Φ_B = π/2
Φ_C = π/2 + (2π/λ)x = π/2 + π/2 = π
I_A = 4I? ; I_B = 2I? ; I_C = 0
