The amplitude of the light waves emerging from the two slits in Young's experiment is in the ratio of $2 : 3$. The ratio of the intensity of the minimum to that of the consecutive maximum will be:

  • A
    $2 : 3$
  • B
    $4 : 9$
  • C
    $1 : 25$
  • D
    None

In the Young's double slit experiment using a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the path difference (in terms of an integer $n$) corresponding to any point having half the peak intensity 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.
