    In a Young's double slit experiment, \[d\,=\,1\,\,mm\], \[\,=\,6000\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] and \[D=1\,m\] (where d, \[\] and D have usual meaning). Each of slit individually produces same intensity on the screen. The minimum distance between two points on the screen having 75 % intensity of the maximum intensity is :

    A) 0.45 mm

    B) 0.40 mm         

    C) 0.30 mm

    D) 0.20mm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The intensity at distance x-from central order bright on screen is \[I={{I}_{0}}{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\pi x}{\beta }\]where \[{{I}_{0}}=\]maximum intensity \[\beta =\]fringe width If \[I=\frac{3}{4}{{I}_{0}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \frac{\pi x}{\beta }=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\cos \frac{\pi }{6}\]\[\therefore \]\[x=\frac{\beta }{6}\]Hence the required distance \[=2\times \frac{\beta }{6}=\frac{\beta }{3}=0.20\,\,mm\]
