(A) Given the ratio of amplitudes $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{1}{3}$.We know that the intensity $I$ is proportional to the square of the amplitude $a$,so $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \left(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{9}$.Let $a_1 = x$ and $a_2 = 3x$.The maximum intensity $I_{\max}$ is proportional to $(a_1 + a_2)^2 = (x + 3x)^2 = (4x)^2 = 16x^2$.The minimum intensity $I_{\min}$ is proportional to $(a_2 - a_1)^2 = (3x - x)^2 = (2x)^2 = 4x^2$.The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity is $\frac{I_{\max}}{I_{\min}} = \frac{16x^2}{4x^2} = 4$.

In an interference experiment,the ratio of amplitudes of coherent waves is $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{1}{3}$. The ratio of maximum and minimum intensities of fringes will be

Two sources are said to be coherent if they produce waves

Two coherent sources of light interfere. The intensity ratio of two sources is $1:4$. For this interference pattern,if the value of $\frac{I_{\max} + I_{\min}}{I_{\max} - I_{\min}}$ is equal to $\frac{2\alpha + 1}{\beta + 3}$,then the value of $\frac{\alpha}{\beta}$ will be:

Two coherent plane light waves of equal amplitude make a small angle $\alpha (\alpha \ll 1)$ with each other. They fall almost normally on a screen. If $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light waves,the fringe width $\Delta x$ of the interference pattern of the two sets of waves on the screen is:
