Practicing Success
In a double slit experiment, instead of taking slits of equal widths, one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then, in the interference pattern |
the intensities of both the maxima and the minima increase. the intensity of the maxima increases and the minima has zero intensity. the intensity of the maxima decreases and that of the minima increases. the intensity of the maxima decreases and the minima has zero intensity. |
the intensities of both the maxima and the minima increase. |
In the interference pattern of Young's double slit experiment maximum and minimum intensity is given as $I_{max} = (\sqrt{I_1} + \sqrt{I_2})^2$ $I_{min} = (\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2})^2$ Here $I_1$ has been doubled and $I_2$ remains same. Therefore both $I_1$ and $I_2$ will increase. Hence (A) is correct |
