Q. In a YDSE, if the slits are of unequal widths,

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Wave Optics

Solution:

If width of the slits are different, the ray undergoing interference will be of different intensity. So, when they will be out of phase, they will not completely cancel each other, resulting in minimum non zero intensity.
