In the arrangement shown in the figure, S1 and S2 are two parallel slits at a separation d. There is a screen at a distance` D (gtgtd)` from the slits. Two point sources A1 and A2 have been placed symmetrically with respect to the slits at a large distance with`ltltA_(1)OO_(1)=ltltA_(2)OO_(1)=Deltatheta`. The sources are monochromatic giving out light of wavelength l but they are incoherent. Write the intensity of light at a point P on the screen as a function of y. Take`I_(0)` to be maximum intensity on the screen when one of the two sources (A1 and A2) is switched on. Assume y to be small.

In the arrangement shown, S is a point source of monochromatic light. S1 and S2 are two slits located sym- metrically with respect to the source with separation between them d_(1) . Parallel to this slit plane there are two more slits (S3 and S4) at separation d_(2) . These slits are also symmetrically located with respect to S. A screen is at a distance L_(2) from this slit plane. How does the intensity on the screen change with y and d_(1) ?
