The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the maximum intensity of fringes in Young's double-slit experiment and the intensity when one of the slits is closed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Maximum Intensity in Young's Experiment:** - In Young's double-slit experiment, the maximum intensity of the interference pattern is given by: \[ I_{\text{max}} = I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1 I_2} \] - If both slits are identical, we can denote the intensity from each slit as \( I_1 = I_2 = I_d \). Thus, the maximum intensity becomes: \[ I_{\text{max}} = 2I_d \] 2. **Intensity When One Slit is Closed:** - When one of the slits is closed, the intensity at the point where the fringe pattern was observed becomes \( I_0 \). This intensity is equal to the intensity from the open slit: \[ I_0 = I_d \] 3. **Relating Maximum Intensity to Closed Slit Intensity:** - From the first step, we established that: \[ I_{\text{max}} = 2I_d \] - Since \( I_d = I_0 \), we can substitute: \[ I_{\text{max}} = 2I_0 \] 4. **Finding the Relationship:** - We know from the problem statement that the maximum intensity \( I \) is given by: \[ I = 2I_0 \] - Rearranging this gives us: \[ I_0 = \frac{I}{2} \] 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the relationship that holds true is: \[ I = 2I_0 \] ### Final Answer: The correct relation is \( I = 2I_0 \).
