Contrast of the fringe pattern obtained in Young's double-slit experiment depends on

A

Wavelength

B

phase difference between sources

C

intensity ratio of the sources

D

distance between plane of slits and screen

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Contrast of the pattern is determined by the ratio `I_("max")//I_("min")`. And the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity depends on intensity ratio of the sources.
