Important Questions on Young's Double Slit Experiment
In Young’s double-slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude 'A' and of wavelength . In another experiment with the same set-up the two slits are sources of equal amplitude 'A' and wavelength . but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is ______

In a Young's double slit experiment, the fringe pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance from the slits. The slits are separated by a distance and are illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength The length of the slits is is usually much greater than The slit width is extremely small, and the slits are otherwise identical.
