Q. The amplitude of the light waves emerging from the two slits in Youngs experiment is in the ratio of 2 : 3. The intensity of the minimum to that of the consecutive maximum will be in the ratio of:

Solution:

Amplitude at the minimum is 3 - 2 = 1. That at the maximum is 3+2=5 Hence intensity will be in the ratio 1 : 25.
