In a double slit experiment, the separation between slits is d = 0.25 cm and the distance of screen D = 120 cm from the slits.If I_(0) is intensity of central bright fringe, what is the intensity at distance x = 4.8 xx 10^(-5) m from central max ? Given lambda = 6000 Å :

Answer»

`I_(0)`
`2I_(0)`
`(I_(0))/(2)`
`(3I_(0))/(4)`

SOLUTION :`I = I_(1) _ I_(2) + 2 sqrt(I_(1)I_(2)) cos delta`
At the central fringe, `delta= 0`
`I_(0) = I_(1) + I_(2) + 2I_(1) = 4I_(1)`
At a distance x, PATH difference = `(xd)/(D)`
Corresponding phase difference, `delta = (2pi)/(lambda).(xd)/(D)`
`therefore I. = I_(1) + I_(2) + 2I_(1) cos (2pixd)/(lambda D)`
` = (I_(0))/(4) + (I_(0))/(4) + (2I_(0))/(4) cos(2pixd)/(lambda D)`
`I. = (I_(0))/(2) [1 + cos (2pixd)/(lambda D)] = I_(0) cos^(2)(pixd)/(lambda D)`
On solving = `I_(0) cos^(2)(pi)/(6) = (3I_(0))/(4)`.
