MCQ

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
$\text{I}_0$
B
$\frac{\text{I}_0}{4}$
C
$\frac{\text{I}_0}{2}$
D
$4\text{I}_0$

✓

Answer

$\frac{\text{I}_0}{4}$

Explanation:

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 $\frac{1}{4}\text{th}$ of intensity.
