In Young's double slit experiment, instead of taking slits of equal width, one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then, in the interference pattern,

EASY

Two waves y1=A1sinωt-β1 and y2=A2sinωt-β2 superimpose to form a resultant wave whose amplitude is

Two light waves are given by, E1=2sin100πt-kx+30° and E2=3cos200πt-kx+60°. The ratio of intensity of first wave to that of second wave is -

EASY
IMPORTANT

There are two coherent point sources of light S1 and S2 in the x-y  plane at points (0,0) and (0,3λ) respectively. Here, λ is wavelength of light. At which one of the following points (given as co-ordinates), the intensity of interference is maximum?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. After interference, the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is 16. The intensity of the waves are in the ratio:

In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength λ, the separation of slits is d and distance of screen is D such that Ddλ . If the Fringe width is β , the distance from point of maximum intensity to the point where intensity falls to half of the maximum intensity on either side is:
