Figure here shows P and Q as two equally intense coherent sources emitting radiations of wavelength 20 m. The separation PQ is 5.0 m and phase of P is ahead of the phase of Q by 900. A, B and C are three distant points of observation equidistant from the mid-point of PQ. The intensity of radiations at A, B, C will bear the ratio

Detailed Solution
Since P is ahead of Q by 900 and path difference between P and Q is λ/4. Therefore at A, phase difference is zero, so intensity is 4I. At C it is zero and at B, the phase difference is 900, so intensity is 2I.
