I think basic definition of intensity is power by area.
How intensity is square of the amplitude?
How intensity is energy density times speed of thing?
How in a radiation of EM wave,
Half of the intensity is provided by elec.field and other by magnetic field?

Yeah, I got all the answers of that by some searching.
Can you answer this one,
In wave optics
taking size of light source =s and distance from 2 slits S,
How s/S <= λ/d
for the fringe formation to take place?
