In a double slit experiment, at a certain point on the screen the path difference between the two interfering waves is \(\frac{1}{8} ^{th}\) of a wavelength. The ratio of the intensity of light at that point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(0.583\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(I=I_{0} \cos ^{2}\left(\frac{\Delta \phi}{2}\right)\)
\(\frac{I}{I_{0}}=\cos ^{2}\left(\frac{\Delta \phi}{2}\right)\)
\(\frac{I}{I_{0}}=\cos ^{2}\left(\frac{\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \times \frac{\lambda}{8}}{2}\right)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{I}_{0}}=\cos ^{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{I}_{0}}=0.853\)
