To find the ratio of intensity of maxima and minima in the interference pattern when the two slits in Young's experiment have a width ratio of 4:9, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship Between Slit Width and Intensity**: The intensity of light coming out from each slit is directly proportional to the width of the slit. If the widths of the two slits are in the ratio 4:9, we can denote the widths as \( B_1 = 4k \) and \( B_2 = 9k \) for some constant \( k \). 2. **Assigning Intensities**: ...
