The path difference between two interfering waves of equal intensities at a point on the screen is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$. The ratio of intensity at this point and that at the central fringe will be

In a Young's double slit experiment, the intensities at two points, for the path difference $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ and $\frac{\lambda}{3}$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of light used) are $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively. If $I_0$ denotes the intensity produced by each one of the individual slits, then $\frac{I_1 + I_2}{I_0} = $ $(\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2})$
