Question
In a young's double slit experiment, the fringe pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance $D$. The slits are separated by $d$ and are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$. Find the distance from the central point where the intensity falls  to half the maximum is 
✓

Answer

$I=I_{\max } \cos ^{2} \frac{\phi}{2}$

$\frac{I_{\max }}{2}=I_{\max } \cos ^{2} \frac{\phi}{2} \therefore \cos \frac{\phi}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\frac{\phi}{2}=\frac{\pi}{4} \quad \phi=\frac{\pi}{2}$

Path diff. $\Delta \mathrm{x}=\left(\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi}\right)(\Delta \phi)=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi} \times \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{\lambda}{4}$

Distance $\quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\lambda}{4} \frac{\mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}$

Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a crosssectional area equal to that of the artery. $A = 8\; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \;mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24\; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?
