Young's double slit experiment is performed in a medium of refractive index of 1.33 . The maximum intensity is I₀ . The intensity at a point on the screen, where path difference between the light coming out from slits is 4 , is
Options
- A0
- BI₀ 2
- C3 I₀ 8
- D2 I₀ 3
Correct answer
B. I₀ 2
Step-by-step solution
Given, path difference, x= 4 Phase difference, = ( 2 ) (Path difference) = 2 4 = 2 ...(i) It is given that, maximum intensity is I₀ . So, intensity at a point on the screen, where phase difference is given by aligned I & =I₀ ^2 ( 2 ) & =I₀ ^2 ( / 2 2 ) [ using Eq.(i) ] & =I₀ ( 1 2 )^2 & = I₀ 2 aligned
