Hello all, I have a problem that requires some knowledge about Young's double slit experiment.
The question is as follows:
Imagine performing Young's experiment with one slit wider than the other so that the intensity passing the wider slit is four times as great as that passing the narrower slit. Assume both slits are still 'thin' and act as line sources and show that I = Inaught.(5+4cos(phi))
I do not know where to start... can anyone give me some tips?
Do I use I=4Inaught.[cos(phi/2)^2] ??
Thanks,
Levi
