In a Young's double slit experiment,$I_0$ is the intensity at the central maximum and $\beta$ is the fringe width. The intensity at a point $P$ at a distance $x$ from the central maximum will be

  • A
    $I_0 \cos \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • B
    $4 I_0 \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • C
    $I_0 \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{4} \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$

If the Young's double slit experiment is performed with white light,then which of the following is not true?

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is $60^o$. The width of the slit is $1 \mu m$. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it,Young's fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance $50 \ cm$ from the slits. If the observed fringe width is $1 \ cm$,what is the slit separation distance in $\mu m$ (i.e.,distance between the centres of each slit)?
