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

In the Young's double slit experiment,the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\lambda$ is $K$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is $\lambda / 4$ will be:
