Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

In Young's double slit experiment the ratio intensity of the maxima and minima in the inference experiment is 25 : 9. The ratio of widths of two slits is

A

18 : 3

B

4 : 1

C

8 : 1

D

16 : 1

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The intensity ratio is given by (A₁ + A₂)²/(A₁ - A₂)² = 25/9. Solving for A₁/A₂ gives A₁/A₂ = 4, which means the width ratio is 16:1.
