In the Young’s double slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is is ( being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is will be
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between intensity and path difference in the Young's double slit experiment.The intensity at a point on the screen is given by the formula:where is the maximum intensity and is the phase difference.The phase difference is related to the path difference by the equation:Given that the intensity at a point where the path difference is is we have:This implies that when the path difference is Now, we need to find the intensity at a point where the path difference is Substitute into the phase difference equation:The intensity at this point is:Since we have:Given that the intensity at path difference is we can relate to Therefore, the intensity at path difference is Thus, the correct option is Option 3:
