Q71 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (10 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

The ratio of intensities at two points P and Q on the screen in a Young's double slit experiment where phase difference between two waves of same amplitude are π3 and π2, respectively are

  • A
    2 : 3 
  • B
    1 : 3
  • C
    3 : 1
  • Correct answer
    D
    3 : 2

Solution

The formula to calculate the intensity of the interference pattern in Young's double slit experiment can be written as

I=4I0cos2ϕ2   ...1

Hence, the ratio of the required intensities can be calculated as follows-

I1I2=4I0cos2π64I0cos2π4=3412=32

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
