Consider an $YDSE$ that has different slit widths. As a result,the amplitudes of waves from the two slits are $A$ and $2A$,respectively. If $I_0$ is the maximum intensity of the interference pattern,then the intensity of the pattern at a point where the phase difference between the waves is $\phi$ is:

  • A
    $I_0 \cos^2 \phi$
  • B
    $\frac{I_0}{3} \sin^2 \frac{\phi}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{I_0}{9} [5 + 4 \cos \phi]$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{9} [5 + 8 \cos \phi]$

Consider a two-slit interference arrangement (see figure) such that the distance of the screen from the slits is half the distance between the slits. Obtain the value of $D$ in terms of $\lambda$ such that the first minima on the screen falls at a distance $D$ from the centre $O$.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the intensity at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\lambda$ is $K$. Find the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\lambda/4$.

In Young's double slit experiment,one of the slits is wider than the other,so that the amplitude of the light from one slit is double that of the other. If $I_m$ is the maximum intensity,the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere at a phase difference $\phi$ is given by
