Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at point $A$ and $2\pi$ at point $B$. Find the difference between the resultant intensities at point $B$ and point $A$.

  • A
    $2I$
  • B
    $5I$
  • C
    $I$
  • D
    $4I$

In a double slit experiment,the separation between the slits is $d = 0.25 \, cm$ and the distance of the screen $D = 100 \, cm$ from the slits. If the wavelength of light used is $\lambda = 6000 \mathring{A}$ and $I_0$ is the intensity of the central bright fringe,the intensity at a distance $x = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ from the central maximum is
