In a Young's double slit experiment, the intensities at two points, for the path difference 4 and 3 ( being the wavelength of light used) are I₁ and I₂ respectively. If I₀ denotes the intensity produced by each one of the individual slits, then I ₁+ I ₂ I ₀ =

Correct answer
A. 3
Step-by-step solution
Resultant intensity in Young's double slit experiment I =4 I ₀ ^2 ( 2 ) For path difference 4 phase difference, = 2 4 = 4 I ₁=4 I ₀ ^2 ( 4 )=2 I ₀ For path difference 3 I₂=4 I₀ ^2 ( 2 3 )=I₀ I ₁+ I ₂ I ₀ =3
