In Young's double-slit experiment intensity at a point is (3/4) th of the maximum intensity. The possible angular position of this point is
Options
- Asin -1 λ 3d
- Bsin -1 λ 2d
- Csin -1 λ 6d
- Dsin -1 λ 4d
Correct answer
C. sin -1 λ 6d
Step-by-step solution
I = I max cos 2 ϕ 2  ∴    3I max 4 = I max  cos  2 ϕ 2 cos ϕ 2 = 3 2 or, ϕ 2 = π 6  ∴     ϕ = π 3 = 2 π λ Δ x                      .....(i)  where, Δ x = d sin θ Substituting in Eq.(i) we get sin θ = λ 6d or, θ = sin -1 λ 6d
