In the Young's double slit experiment using a monochromatic light of wavelength λ , the path difference ( in terms of an integer n ) corresponding to any point having half the peak intensity is

  1. A 2 n + 1 λ 2
  2. B 2 n + 1 λ 4
  3. C 2 n + 1 λ 8
  4. D 2 n + 1 λ 16
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 n + 1 λ 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

I max = 4 I ​
∴     2 I = 2 I + 2 I cos θ
cos  θ = 0 θ = 2 n + 1 π 2
2 π λ x  =  2 n + 1 π 2
x = 2 n + 1 λ 4
