Problem

A parallel beam of monochromatic light is used in Young's double-slit experiment. The slits are separated by a distance dd, and the screen is placed parallel to the plane of the slits. If the incident beam makes an angle θ=sin⁡−1(λ2d)\theta=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\lambda}{2d}\right) with the normal to the plane of the slits, there will be _____ at the centre P0P_0 of the pattern. (a) 14\frac14 the maximum intensity (b) Half the maximum intensity (c) Bright (d) Dark
