Consider an $YDSE$ that has different slit widths. As a result,the amplitudes of waves from the two slits are $A$ and $2A$,respectively. If $I_0$ is the maximum intensity of the interference pattern,then the intensity of the pattern at a point where the phase difference between the waves is $\phi$ is:

  • A
    $I_0 \cos^2 \phi$
  • B
    $\frac{I_0}{3} \sin^2 \frac{\phi}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{I_0}{9} [5 + 4 \cos \phi]$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{9} [5 + 8 \cos \phi]$
