In Young's double-slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\lambda / 6$ is $I'$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,then $I'/I_0$ is equal to

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}/2$
  • D

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:

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.

The two coherent sources produce interference with intensity ratio $b$. In the interference pattern, the ratio $\frac{I_{\text{max}} + I_{\text{min}}}{I_{\text{max}} - I_{\text{min}}}$ will be

In a $YDSE$ setup,the intensity of two coherent beams differs by $1\%$. If one of the beams has intensity $I$,then the intensity of the minima is:

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
