To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principles of interference and the formula for intensity in Young's double-slit experiment. ### Step 1: Understand the given parameters - Slit separation, \( d = 0.8 \, \text{mm} = 0.8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 7200 \, \text{Å} = 7200 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - Distance from slits to screen, \( D = 2 \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Write the formula for intensity ...
