MCQ
The path of difference between two interfering waves at a point on the screen is $\frac{\lambda}{8}$. The ratio of intensity at this point and that at the central fringe will be 
  • $0.853$
  • B
    $8.53$
  • C
    $85.3$
  • D
    $853$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0.853$
a
Phase difference $=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$ (Path difference)

$\Delta \phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{\lambda}{8}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Gamma=I+I+2 I \cos \frac{\pi}{4}=(2+\sqrt{2}) I$

$I^{\prime \prime}=(a+a)^{2}=4 I$

$\frac{I}{{{I^\prime }^\prime }} = \frac{{2 + 1 \cdot 41}}{4} = \frac{{3 \cdot 14}}{4} = 0 \cdot 853$
