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} = $ $(\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2})$

In $Y.D.S.E.$ using light of wavelength $\lambda$,the intensity of light at a point on the screen with path difference $\lambda$ is $M$ units. Calculate the intensity of light at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{3}$.
