1) In young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of tight at a point on the screen where the path difference is λ, is I, λ being the wavelength of light used. The intensity at a point where the path difference is λ/4 will be A) I/4 B) I/2 C) I D) Zero Answer: Option BExplanation:For path difference λ, phase difference = 2π (Q=(2πλx=2πλλ=2π)) I=I0+I0+2I0cos2π I=4I0(∴cos2π=1) For x=λ4, Phase difference = π2 I′=I1+I2+2√I1√I2cosπ/2. If=I1=I2=I0 then I' = 2I0 = 2.I/4 = I/2
