The slits in a Young's double slit experiment have equal widths and the source is placed symmetrically relative to the slits. The intensity at the central fringes is I 0 . If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
If intensity of each wave is I , then initially at central position 
when one of the slit is covered then intensity at central position will be I only i.e ., 
.
