In the Young ’ s double slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference 
is 
being the wavelength oflight used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is 
will be
A
B
C
D
zero
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
: Intensity at any point on the screen is
where 
is the intensity of either wave and 
is the phase difference between two waves.
Phase difference, 
Path difference
When path difference is 
, then
(i)
When path difference is 
, then
[Using(i)]
