To solve the problem, we need to find the intensity of light at a point where the path difference is \(\frac{\lambda}{3}\) in a Young's double slit experiment, given that the intensity at a path difference of \(2\lambda\) is \(I_0\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship Between Intensity and Phase Difference**: The intensity \(I\) at any point in a Young's double slit experiment can be expressed in terms of the maximum intensity \(I_0\) and the phase difference \(\phi\) as: \[ I = I_0 \cos^2\left(\frac{\phi}{2}\right) ...
