    In a Young's double slit experiment width of one slit is doubled that for another. If the amplitude of light coming from a slit is proportional to the width of the slit, then what will be the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern?

    A)  9                                            

    B) 7     

    C) 8                                             

    D) 11

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Amplitude of light coming from narrower slit is A, then the amplitude of light coming from other slit will be 2A. Thus,\[{{A}_{\max }}=2A+A=3A\] In case of minimum intensity\[{{A}_{\min }}=2A-A=A\] The required ratio of intensities\[\frac{{{\operatorname{I}}_{max}}}{{{\operatorname{I}}_{min}}}=\frac{{{({{A}_{\max }})}^{2}}}{{{({{A}_{\min }})}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{{{(3A)}^{2}}}{{{A}^{2}}}=9\]
