Two Different Slits
Light of wavelength λ = 450 nm illuminates two slits as shown.
Slit A has a larger opening than slit B. The center of slit A is at y = 0, and
the center of slit B is at y = d = 0.1 cm. The screen is L = 1 m
away from the plane of the slits. When slit A is open and slit B is closed, the
light intensity on the screen is IA = 16 W/m2. When
slit B is open and slit A is closed, the light intensity on the screen is
IB = 9 W/m2.
When both slits are open and ignoring diffraction, what is the ratio between the minimum and maximum intensities on the screen, Imin and Imax?
Imin/Imax =
