In Young's double-slit experment, the frist maxima is observed at a fixed point P on the screen. Now, the screen is continously moved away from the plane of slits. The ratio of intensity at point P to the intensity at point O (center of the screen)

A

Remains constant

B

Keeps on decreasing

C

first decreases and then increases

D

first decreases and then becomes constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The maxima at P becomes minima & then maxima alternately. But central bright fringe is always remain at O.
