In Young's double slit experiment, monochromatic light of wavelength
is used. The slits are
apart and screen is placed at
away from slits. The distance from the centre of the screen where intensity becomes half of the maximum intensity for the first time is_______ 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(125) Let intensity of light on screen due to each slit is
So internity at centre of screen is
Intensity at distance y from centre-
