STANDARD Physics Interference MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
In Young's double slit experiment two disturbances arriving at a point P have phase difference of π/3. The intensity of this point expressed as a fraction of maximum intensity I₀ is
A
3/2 I₀
B
1/2 I₀
C
4/3 I₀
D
3/4 I₀
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The resultant intensity I = I₀ cos²(φ/2). With φ = π/3, I = I₀ cos²(π/6) = I₀ (3/4).
