To find the ratio of intensities of two points P and Q on a screen in Young's double-slit experiment when the waves from sources \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) have path differences of (i) zero and (ii) \( \frac{\lambda}{3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Setup**: In Young's double-slit experiment, we have two coherent sources \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) that produce waves that interfere with each other on a screen. The path difference between the waves arriving at points P and Q will determine the resulting intensity at those points. 2. **Intensity Formula**: ...
