Detailed Solution
Suppose P is a point in front of one slit at which intensity is I0. From figure, it is clear that y=d2. Path difference between the waves reaching at P isΔx=ydD=d2d10d=d20=5λ20=λ4Hence corresponding phase difference is given by ϕ=2πλ×λ4=π2Resultant intensity at P is I=Imaxcos2ϕ2=I0cos2π4=I02
