To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the widths of two slits in Young's double slit experiment given the ratio of intensities of minima to maxima as \(9:25\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between intensity and slit widths In Young's double slit experiment, the intensity of the maxima \(I_{\text{max}}\) and minima \(I_{\text{min}}\) can be expressed in terms of the widths of the slits \(W_1\) and \(W_2\). The ratio of the intensities can be given by: \[ \frac{I_{\text{min}}}{I_{\text{max}}} = \left(\frac{W_1 - W_2}{W_1 + W_2}\right)^2 \] ...
