Coherent sources and their importance in interference
Question

Consider an YDSE that has different slits width. As a result, amplitudes of waves from two slits are A and 2A, respectively. If I0 be the maximum intensity of the interference pattern, then intensity of the pattern at a point where phase difference between waves is , is

Moderate
Solution

As amplitudes are A and 2A,  so intensities would be in the ratio 1 : 4 Let us say I  and 4I Imax=I0=l+4l+24l2=9l l=l09 Intensity at any point,  l'=l+4l+24l2cosϕ l'=5l+4lcosϕ=I5+4cosϕ=l095+4cosϕ
