The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Amplitudes We are given the amplitudes from the two slits: - \( A_1 = A_0 \sin(\omega t) \) - \( A_2 = 3 A_0 \sin(\left(\omega + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)) \) ### Step 2: Use the Formula for Resultant Amplitude The resultant amplitude \( A \) at a point where the path difference is zero can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \sqrt{A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2 A_1 A_2 \cos(\phi)} \] where \( \phi \) is the phase difference. Since the path difference is zero, we can use the phase difference given in \( A_2 \), which is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). ### Step 3: Substitute the Values Substituting the values of \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \): - \( A_1 = A_0 \) - \( A_2 = 3 A_0 \) Now, substituting into the formula: \[ A = \sqrt{(A_0)^2 + (3 A_0)^2 + 2 (A_0)(3 A_0) \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate Each Term Calculating each term: 1. \( A_1^2 = (A_0)^2 = A_0^2 \) 2. \( A_2^2 = (3 A_0)^2 = 9 A_0^2 \) 3. \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \) 4. \( 2 A_1 A_2 \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 2 (A_0)(3 A_0) \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 3 A_0^2 \) ### Step 5: Combine the Terms Now, substituting these values back into the amplitude formula: \[ A = \sqrt{A_0^2 + 9 A_0^2 + 3 A_0^2} = \sqrt{13 A_0^2} \] Thus, we have: \[ A = \sqrt{13} A_0 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Intensity The intensity \( I \) is proportional to the square of the amplitude: \[ I \propto A^2 \] Substituting \( A^2 \): \[ I \propto (A)^2 = 13 A_0^2 \] ### Conclusion From the calculations, we find: - The resultant amplitude \( A = \sqrt{13} A_0 \) - The intensity \( I \propto 13 A_0^2 \) ### Final Answers Thus, the correct options are: - \( A = \sqrt{13} A_0 \) (Option A) - \( I \propto 13 A_0^2 \) (Option D)

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Amplitudes We are given the amplitudes from the two slits: - \( A_1 = A_0 \sin(\omega t) \) - \( A_2 = 3 A_0 \sin(\left(\omega + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)) \) ### Step 2: Use the Formula for Resultant Amplitude ...
