In Young's double slit experiment, the intensity of central maximum is `I`. What will be the intensity at the same place if one slit is closed ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When one slit is closed, amplitude becomes `1//2` and hence intensity becomes `1//4th`, and there is no intereference.
