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
    $\frac{I_0}{4} \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
