In a Young's double slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of light used) is $I$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,then $\frac{I}{I_0} = $ . . . . . .

  • A
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • B

  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • D

The figure shows a two-slit arrangement with a source that emits unpolarised light. $P$ is a polariser with an axis whose direction is not given. If $I_0$ is the intensity of the principal maxima when no polariser is present, calculate in the present case, the intensity of the principal maxima as well as of the first minima.

The ratio of intensities of two coherent sources is $p$. The visibility of the fringes in the interference pattern is given by:

If $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{16}{1},$ then $\frac{I_{\max}}{I_{\min}} = ?$

Consider a two-slit interference arrangement (see figure) such that the distance of the screen from the slits is half the distance between the slits. Obtain the value of $D$ in terms of $\lambda$ such that the first minima on the screen falls at a distance $D$ from the centre $O$.

Two beams of monochromatic light with intensities $64 \ mW$ and $4 \ mW$ interfere constructively to produce an intensity of $100 \ mW$. If one of the beams is shifted by a phase angle $\phi$,the intensity is reduced to $84 \ mW$. The magnitude of $\phi$ is
