The width of one of the two slits in Young's double slit experiment is d while that of the other slit is \(x \mathrm{~d}\). If the ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern on the screen is \(9: 4\) then what is the value of \(x\) ?
(Assume that the field strength varies according to the slit width.)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I} \propto(\text { width })^2 \\ & \left(\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_2}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_1}-\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_2}}\right)^2=\frac{9}{4} \\ & \frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_2}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_1}-\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_2}}=\frac{3}{2} \\ & \frac{(\mathrm{x}+1) \mathrm{d}}{(\mathrm{x}-1) \mathrm{d}}=\frac{3}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{x}-3=2 \mathrm{x}+2 \\ & \mathrm{x}=5\end{aligned}\)
