    In the Young's double slit experiment, if the phase difference between the two waves interfering at a point is f, the intensity at that point can be expressed by the expression [MP PET 1998; MP PMT 2003]

    A)            \[I=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi }\]            

    B)            \[I=\frac{A}{B}\cos \varphi \]

    C)            \[I=A+B\cos \frac{\varphi }{2}\]                                      

    D)            \[I=A+B\cos \varphi \] Where A and B depend upon the amplitudes of the two waves.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[I=a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+2{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}\cos \varphi \] Put \[a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}=A\]and \[{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}=B;\ \ \therefore I=A+B\cos \varphi \]
