The ratio of the intensities at minima to the maxima in the Young's double slit experiment is 9 : 25. Find the ratio of the widths of the two slits.

Solution
Let w, a,I represent the slit width, amplitude and intensity.
`I_(min)/I_(max)=(a_1-a_2)^2/(a_1+a_2)^2=9/25`
`((a_1-a_2))/((a_1+a_2))=3/5`
Or
`a_1/a_2=4/1`
and
`w_1/w_2=(a_2)^2/(a_2)^2=16/1`

In a Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron (1 micron = 10−6 m) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet.
