In the Young's double slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen is 'K', being the wavelength of light used. The intensity at a point where path difference is will be \left[\cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The maximum intensity in Young's double slit experiment is given as I_\max = K.
The phase difference is related to the path difference by the formula:
Given the path difference , the phase difference is:
The intensity at any point on the screen is given by:
I = I_\max \cos^2\left(\dfrac{\phi}{2}\right)
Substituting the values of I_\max and :
Since , we get:
