In the Young's double slit experiment,the intensities at two points $P_1$ and $P_2$ on the screen are respectively $I_1$ and $I_2$. If $P_1$ is located at the centre of a bright fringe and $P_2$ is located at a distance equal to a quarter of fringe width from $P_1$,then $\frac{I_1}{I_2}$ is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    None of these
