Detailed Solution

In Youngs double slit experiment, intensity at a point is given by 

I=I0cos2ϕ2…….(1)

Where ,ϕ= phase difference,

Using phase difference, ϕ=2πλ×path difference

For path difference λ, phase difference ϕ1=2π

For path difference ,λ6 , phase difference ϕ2=π3

Using equation (i), 

I1I2=cos2ϕ12cos2ϕ22=cos22π2cos2π6KI2=1322=43 I2=3K4=9K12 n=9.
