In a double slit experiment instead of taking slits of equal width, one slit is made twice as wide as the other, then in the interference pattern
| A. |
the intensities of both the maxima and the minima increases |
 |
| B. |
the intensity of the maxima increases and the minima has zero intensity |
| C. |
the intensity of maxima decreases and that of minima increases |
| D. |
the intensity of maxima decreases and the minima has zero intensity |
Under normal conditions (when the widths of both the slits are equal)
`I_1=I_2=I `(say)
`I_(max)=4I` and `I_(min)=0`
when the width of one of the slits is increased. Intensity due to that slit would increase, while that of the other will remain same. So, let:
