In a Young's double slit experiment,the width of one of the slits is three times the other slit. The amplitude of the light coming from a slit is proportional to the slit width. Find the ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern.

The width of the fringe is $2\,mm$ on the screen in a double-slit experiment for light of wavelength $400\,nm$. The width of the fringe for light of wavelength $600\,nm$ will be $..............\,mm$.

In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

Two ideal slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are at a distance $d$ apart and are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$ passing through an ideal source slit $S$ placed on the line through $S_2$ as shown. The distance between the plane of the slits and the source slit is $D$. $A$ screen is held at a distance $D$ from the plane of the slits. The minimum value of $d$ for which there is darkness at $O$ is

In Young's double-slit experiment,the amplitudes of two sources are $3a$ and $a$ respectively. The ratio of intensities of bright and dark fringes will be: (in $: 1$)
