The intensity of each of the two slits in Young's double slit experiment is I0I_0. Calculate the minimum separation between the points on the screen, where intensities are 2I02 I_0 and I0I_0. If fringe width is bb

Options

  1. Ab5\frac{b}{5}
  2. Bb8\frac{b}{8}
  3. Cb12\frac{b}{12}
  4. Db4\frac{b}{4}

Correct answer

C. b12\frac{b}{12}

Step-by-step solution

We know that, intensity, I=4I0cos⁡2ϕ2I=4 I_0 \cos ^2 \frac{\phi}{2} Case I 2I0=4I0cos⁡2ϕ2∴ϕ=2πλ⋅Δxπ2=2πλ⋅Y1dD[∵Δx=Y1dD and  ϕ=π2]⇒Y1=λD4d......(i)\begin{aligned} & \text{ Case I } 2 I_0=4 I_0 \cos ^2 \frac{\phi}{2} \\ & \therefore \quad \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \Delta x \\ & \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{Y_1 d}{D}\left[\because \Delta x=\frac{Y_1 d}{D} \text{\text{ and } } \phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\right] \\ & \Rightarrow \quad Y_1=\frac{\lambda D}{4 d}......(i) \\ & \end{aligned}$CaseIICase III_0=4 I_0 \cdot \cos ^2 \frac{\phi}{2} \therefore \quad \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \Delta x \frac{2 \pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{Y_2 d}{D} \quad\left[\because \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right. and \left.\Delta x \frac{y_2 d}{D}\right] \therefore \quad Y_2=\frac{\lambda D}{3 d}.....(ii).....(ii)\therefore \quad \Delta Y=Y_2-Y_1=\frac{\lambda D}{3 d}-\frac{\lambda D}{4 d}=\frac{\lambda D}{12 d} \because \quad \frac{\lambda D}{d}=b$ [given] \Delta Y=\frac{b}{12}
