In a Young's double slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of the light used) is $I$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,the ratio $\frac{I_0}{I}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

In a Young's double slit experiment, the intensities at two points, for the path difference $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ and $\frac{\lambda}{3}$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of light used) are $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively. If $I_0$ denotes the intensity produced by each one of the individual slits, then $\frac{I_1 + I_2}{I_0} = $ $(\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2})$

The figure shows a two-slit arrangement with a source that emits unpolarised light. $P$ is a polariser with an axis whose direction is not given. If $I_0$ is the intensity of the principal maxima when no polariser is present, calculate in the present case, the intensity of the principal maxima as well as of the first minima.

Two coherent sources of intensity ratio $\alpha$ interfere. The value of $\frac{I_{max} - I_{min}}{I_{max} + I_{min}}$ is

Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at point $A$ and $2\pi$ at point $B$. Find the difference between the resultant intensities at point $B$ and point $A$.
