MCQ
In the Young's double slit experiment, if the phase difference between the two waves interfering at a point is $\phi$, the intensity at that point can be expressed by the expression
  • A
    $I = \sqrt {{A^2} + {B^2}{{\cos }^2}\phi } $
  • B
    $I = \frac{A}{B}\cos \phi $
  • C
    $I = A + B\cos \frac{\phi }{2}$
  • $I = A + B\cos \phi $Where $A $ and $B $ depend upon the amplitudes of the two waves.

Answer

Correct option: D.
$I = A + B\cos \phi $Where $A $ and $B $ depend upon the amplitudes of the two waves.
d
(d)$I = a_1^2 + a_2^2 + 2{a_1}{a_2}\cos \phi $
Put $a_1^2 + a_2^2 = A$and ${a_1}{a_2} = B;\;\;\therefore I = A + B\cos \phi $
