In Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light of wavelength \(\lambda\), the intensity of light at a point on the screen where path difference is \(\lambda\), is 'T' units. What is the intensity of light at a point where path difference is \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\) ?

  1. A Zero
  2. B 3T
  3. C \(\frac{T}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{T}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{T}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\phi_1 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \delta_1 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} (\lambda) = 2\pi\) \(T = I_0 \cos^2\left(\frac{\phi_1}{2}\right) = I_0 \cos^2(\pi) = I_0\) \(\phi_2 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \delta_2 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \left(\frac{\lambda}{4}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2}\)…
