Two coherent sources of different intensities send waves which interfere. The ratio of maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is \(25.\) The intensities of the sources are in the ratio:
1. \(25:1\)
2. \(5:1\)
3. \(9:4\)
4. \(625:1\)

The slits in a Young's double-slit experiment have equal width and the source is placed symmetrically with respect to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is \(I_0.\) If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be:
1. \(I_0\)
2. \(I_0/4\)
3. \(I_0/2\)
4. \(4I_0\)
