In Young's double slit interference experiment, the slit widths are in the ratio . Then the ratio of intensity at the maxima and minima in the interference pattern is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
We know that,
and are maximum and minimum intensity
and are widths of two slits
\therefore \frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }}=\frac{\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}}+1\right)^2}{ \left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}}-1\right)^2}\left(\frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2}=\frac{1}{25} \text{ given }\right) On solving we get,
\frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }}=\frac{\frac{36}{25}}{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{9}{4}=$$9: 4
