The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the Young's double slit experiment with the given ratio of amplitudes, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data We are given the ratio of amplitudes of light coming from the two slits. Let: - Amplitude from slit 1, \( A_1 = 2a \) - Amplitude from slit 2, \( A_2 = a \) ### Step 2: Write the formulas for maximum and minimum intensity In an interference pattern: - The maximum intensity \( I_{\text{max}} \) is given by: \[ I_{\text{max}} = (A_1 + A_2)^2 \] - The minimum intensity \( I_{\text{min}} \) is given by: \[ I_{\text{min}} = (A_1 - A_2)^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values of amplitudes Substituting the values of \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \): - For maximum intensity: \[ I_{\text{max}} = (2a + a)^2 = (3a)^2 = 9a^2 \] - For minimum intensity: \[ I_{\text{min}} = (2a - a)^2 = (a)^2 = a^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity Now, we find the ratio \( \frac{I_{\text{max}}}{I_{\text{min}}} \): \[ \frac{I_{\text{max}}}{I_{\text{min}}} = \frac{9a^2}{a^2} = 9 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern is: \[ \frac{I_{\text{max}}}{I_{\text{min}}} = 9:1 \] ### Final Answer The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity is \( 9:1 \). ---
