a

The ratio of minimum to maximum intensity of the fringes on the screen will be 1 : 9

b

If 𝜆 < 𝑑 < 2𝜆, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the screen

c

If 𝑑 = 𝜆, the screen will contain only one maximum

d

If the intensity of light falling on slit 1 is reduced so that it will become same as the intensity of light falling on slit 2, then the intensities of dark and bright fringes will increase

answer is A, B, D.

Detailed Solution

For maximum to be obtained on the screen at position y we have d sin θ - nλ
=>d=λsinθ=1=>=90
=> only one central maximum (n = 0) is possible and n=1=>y=yD=tanθ
=>d=2λ=>sinθ=n2
There will be at least 2 more maximum (n = 1) possible on either side of central maximum (n = 0) Ratio of minimum to maximum intensity is given by IminImin=I1I2I1+I22=4II4I+I2=19
If the intensity at slit 1 is reduced to make it equal to intensity at slit 2, dark fringe becomes completely dark (Intensity becomes zero from I) and intensity of bright fringe also reduced to 4I from 9I
