Young's double slit Experiment
Question

In a double slit experiment instead of taking slits of equal widths, one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then, in the interference pattern

Moderate
Solution

when the slit width is doubled the intensity due to it will be doubled , hence amplitude of the wave coming from it will become 1.414 times the initial value. 

hence intensity of maximum will be increased and intensity of minimum will be decreased.
