In Young's double slit experiment, intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference becomes \(\lambda\) is \(I\). The intensity at a point on the screen where the path difference becomes \(\frac{\lambda}{3}\) is,

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{I}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \quad \text { In YDSE, } \mathrm{I}_1=\mathrm{I}, \Delta \mathrm{x}_1=\lambda, \Delta \mathrm{x}_2=\frac{\lambda}{3} \\ & \therefore \quad \phi_1=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \Delta \mathrm{x}_1=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \lambda=2 \pi \\ & \phi_2=\frac{2…
