The maximum intensity in a Young's double slit experiment is I_0 ....
The maximum intensity in a Young's double slit experiment is . Distance between the slits () is , where is the wavelength of light used. The intensity of the fringe, exactly opposite to one of the slits on the screen, placed at is _______.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The position of the point on the screen exactly opposite to one of the slits is at a distance from the central maximum.
The path difference at this point is given by:
Substituting and :
Given that the distance between the slits is , we have:
The corresponding phase difference is:
The intensity at this point is given by:
Substituting :
