JEE Main & Advanced Sample Paper JEE Main - Mock Test - 22

  • question_answer
    In Youngs double slit experiment, one of the slits is wider than the other, so that the amplitude of the light from one slit is double that from the other slit. If \[{{I}_{m}}\]be the maximum intensity, the resultant intensity when they interfere at phase difference \[\phi \] is given by

    A) \[\frac{{{I}_{m}}}{3}\left( 1-2{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\]

    B) \[\frac{{{I}_{m}}}{5}\left( 1+4{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\]

    C) \[\frac{{{I}_{m}}}{9}\left( 1+8{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\]

    D) \[\frac{{{I}_{m}}}{9}\left( 8+{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] : Here,\[A{{ & }_{2}}=2A{{ & }_{1}}\] \[\because \]Intensity\[\propto \](Amplitude)2 \[\therefore \]\[\frac{{{I}_{2}}}{{{I}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{2{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}=4\]\[{{I}_{2}}=4{{I}_{1}}\] Maximum intensity, \[{{I}_{m}}={{\left( \sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}+\sqrt{{{I}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[={{\left( \sqrt{{{I}_{1}}}+\sqrt{4{{I}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( 3\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}=9{{I}_{1}}\]or\[{{I}_{1}}=\frac{{{I}_{m}}}{9}\]?(i) Resultant intensity,\[I={{I}_{1}}+{{I}_{2}}+2\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}{{I}_{2}}}\cos \phi \] \[={{I}_{1}}+4{{I}_{2}}+2\sqrt{{{I}_{1}}(4{{I}_{1}})}\cos \phi \] \[=5{{I}_{1}}+4{{I}_{2}}\cos \phi ={{I}_{1}}+4{{I}_{1}}+4{{I}_{1}}\cos \phi \] \[={{I}_{1}}+4{{I}_{1}}(1+\cos \phi )\] \[={{I}_{1}}+8{{I}_{1}}{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2}\]\[\left( \because 1+\cos \phi =2co{{s}^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\] \[={{I}_{1}}\left( 1+8co{{s}^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\] Putting the value of \[{{I}_{1}}\]from eq. (i), we get \[I=\frac{{{I}_{m}}}{9}\left( 1+8{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2} \right)\]
