In the Young's double slit experiment, the intensities at two points P₁ and P₂ on the screen are respectively I₁ and I₂ . If P₁ is located at the centre of a bright fringe and P₂ is located at a distance equal to a quarter of fringe width from P₁ , then I₁ I₂ is
Options
- A2
- B1 2
- C4
- D16
Correct answer
D. 16
Step-by-step solution
Fringe width = D d Let the amplitude of that place where constructive inference takes place is a . The position of fringe at p₂ is x= n D d array rlrl Given, & ^ & = ( 4 ) & & D 4 d & = n D d array aligned & or n= 1 4 & I₁ I₂ = a^2 ( a 4 )^2 & or I₁: I₂=16: 1 & aligned
