Width of one of the two slits in a Young's double slit interference experiment is half of the other slit. The ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern is _______.

  1. A \((2 \sqrt{2}+1):(2 \sqrt{2}-1)\)
  2. B \((3+2 \sqrt{2}):(3-2 \sqrt{2})\)
  3. C \(9: 1\)
  4. D \(3: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((3+2 \sqrt{2}):(3-2 \sqrt{2})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{I} \propto\) width \(\quad\quad \mathrm{I}_{\max }=\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_2}\right)^2\) \(\therefore \mathrm{I}_1=\mathrm{I}_0, \mathrm{I}_2=2 \mathrm{I}_0 \quad\quad \mathrm{I}_{\min }=\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_1}-\sqrt{\mathrm{I}_2}\right)^2\)…
