In Young's double slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude A and of wavelength lambda.In another experiment with same set up, the two slits are sources of equal amplitude A and wavelength lambda, but are incoherent.The ratio of intensty of light at the mid - point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is :

Answer»

`1 : 1`
`1 : 2`
`2 : 1`
`4 : 1`

SOLUTION :In case of coherent SOURCES
`I_(max) = 4a^(2) = 4I`
In case of non- coherent sources
`I = a_(1)^(2) + a_(2)^(2) = 2a^(2) = 2I`
`(I_(max))/(I) = (4I)/(2I) = (2)/(I) = 2`
