A screen is at distance D = 80 cm form a diaphragm having two narrow slits S_(1) and S_(2) which are d = 2 mm apart. Slit S_(1) is covered by a transparent sheet of thickness t_(1) = 2.5 mu m slit S_(2) is covered by another sheet of thikness t_(2) = 1.25 mu m as shown if Fig. 2.52. Both sheets are made of same material having refractive index mu = 1.40 Water is filled in the space between diaphragm and screen. Amondichromatic light beam of wavelength lambda = 5000 Å is incident normally on the diaphragm. Assuming intensity of beam to be uniform, calculate ratio of intensity of C to maximum intensity of interference pattern obtained on the screen (mu_(w) = 4//3)
