In a Young's double slit experiment,$I_0$ is the intensity at the central maximum and $\beta$ is the fringe width. The intensity at a point $P$ at a distance $x$ from the central maximum will be

  • A
    $I_0 \cos \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • B
    $4 I_0 \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • C
    $I_0 \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{4} \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$

In an interference experiment,let $D$ be the distance between the slit and the eyepiece. When the distance between two virtual sources is changed from $d_{A}$ to $d_{B}$,the fringe width changes from $Z_{A}$ to $Z_{B}$. The ratio $Z_{A} / Z_{B}$ is:

In a Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width is found to be $0.4 \, mm$. If the whole apparatus is immersed in water of refractive index $4/3$ without disturbing the geometrical arrangement,the new fringe width will be
