"If the slits in Young's double slit experiment are identical, then intensity at any point on the screen may vary between zero and four times to the intensity due to single slit".
Justify the above statement through a relevant mathematical expression.

उत्तर
The total intensity at a point where the phase difference is ∅, is given by `"I" = "I"_1 + "I"_2 + 2sqrt("I"_1"I"_2) "COS"∅`.
Here I1 and I2 are the intensities of two individual sources which are equal.
When ∅ is 0, I = 4I1
When ∅ is 90°, I = 0
Thus intensity on the screen varies between 4I2 and 0.

In Young’s double-slit experiment, using monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved by 5 x 10-2 m towards the slits, the change in the fringe width is 3 x 10-5 m. If the distance between the two slits is 10-3 m, calculate the wavelength of the light used.
