In Young's double-slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\lambda / 6$ is $I'$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,then $I'/I_0$ is equal to

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}/2$
  • D

In Young's double slit experiment,monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \ \mathring{A}$ is used. The slits are $1.0 \ mm$ apart and the screen is placed at $1.0 \ m$ away from the slits. The distance from the centre of the screen where intensity becomes half of the maximum intensity for the first time is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-6} \ m$.
