NEET 2016 Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The intensity at the maximum in a Young’s double slit experiment is I₀. Distance between two slits is d = 5λ, where λ is the wavelength of light used in the experiment. What will be the intensity in front of one of the slits on the screen placed at a distance, D = 10 d?

A

3/4 I₀

B

I₀/2

C

I₀

D

I₀/4

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In a double slit experiment, the intensity at the position directly in front of one of the slits is maximum, equal to I₀, due to constructive interference.
