In a Young's double slit experiment, the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\mathrm{\lambda }}{6}$(λ = wavelength of the light) is I. If I₀ denotes the maximum intensity, then $\frac{\mathrm{I}}{{\mathrm{I}}_0}$ is equal to

• $\frac{1}{2}$

• $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

• $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

• $\frac{3}{4}$

In a double slit experiment, the screen is placed at a distance of 1.25 m from the slits. When the apparatus is immersed in water (µ_w = 4/3), the angular width of a fringe is found to be 0.2°. When the experiment is performed in air with same set up, the angular width of the fringe is

• 0.27°

• 0.35°

• 0.15°

In Young's experiment, the third bright band for light of wavelength 6000 $\stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$ coincides with the fourth bright band for another source of light in the same arrangement. Then the wavelength of second source is

• 3250 $\stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• 2.6 × 10^-4 cm

Two beams of light of intensity I₁ and I₂ interfere to give an interference pattern. If the ratio of maximum intensity to that of minimum intensity is $\frac{25}{9}$, then $\frac{{\mathrm{I}}_1}{{\mathrm{I}}_2}$ is
