Q.

A triple slit experiment (with basic conditions similar to a YDSE) is performed as shown in the figure with monochromatic light of amplitude a0. Consider light waves from  S1,  S2,  S3 reaching a point P (shown by straight lines) on screen. S2M,  S1N  are perpendicular to  S3P,  S2P respectively.  S3M≈S2N=δ . The graph  between  resultant  amplitude of light (A) versus  δ  is  plotted.  Choose the CORRECT graph between options (A) and (B) and appropriate relation between  A10 and  A20 between options (C) and (D).
