The intensity of each of the two slits in Young's double slit experiment is . Calculate the minimum separation between the points on the screen, where intensities are and . If fringe width is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
We know that, intensity, $I_0=4 I_0 \cdot \cos ^2 \frac{\phi}{2} \therefore \quad \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \Delta x \frac{2 \pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{Y_2 d}{D} \quad\left[\because \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right. and \left.\Delta x \frac{y_2 d}{D}\right] \therefore \quad Y_2=\frac{\lambda D}{3 d}\therefore \quad \Delta Y=Y_2-Y_1=\frac{\lambda D}{3 d}-\frac{\lambda D}{4 d}=\frac{\lambda D}{12 d} \because \quad \frac{\lambda D}{d}=b$
[given]
\Delta Y=\frac{b}{12}
