Waves emitted from two identical sources produce an intensity of $K$ units at a point on the screen. If the path difference between these two waves is $\lambda$,calculate the intensity at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\lambda/4$.

  • A
    $K/2$
  • B
    $K/3$
  • C
    $K$
  • D
    $K/5$
