    In Youngs double slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is\[\lambda =1\]. The intensity of light at a point where the path difference becomes \[\lambda /3\] is

    A)  \[\frac{l}{4}\]

    B) \[\frac{l}{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{l}{2}\]

    D)  \[I\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[I\alpha 4{{\alpha }^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{\phi }{2}\] In the first case, \[\phi =-\frac{2\pi }{3}\] \[\therefore \] \[I\alpha \,4{{a}^{2}}\] In the second case, \[\phi =-\frac{2\pi }{3}\] \[\therefore \]      \[I\alpha 4{{a}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{2\pi }{3}\] or \[I\alpha {{a}^{2}}\] \[\frac{I}{I}=\frac{1}{4}\] or \[I=\frac{1}{4}\]
