The slits in a Young’s double slit experiment have equal width and the source is placed symmetrically with respect to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is I₀. If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be
(a) I₀
(b) I₀/4
(c) I₀/2
(d) 4I₀
digAnsr: b
Ans : (b) I₀/4
Total intensity coming from the source is I₀which is present at the central maxima. In case of two slits, the intensity is getting distributed between the two slits and for a single slit, the amplitude of light coming from the slit is reduced to half which leads to 1/4th of intensity.
