Problem

The maximum intensity in Young's double-slit experiment is I0I_0. The distance between the slits is d=5λd=5\lambda, where λ\lambda is the wavelength of monochromatic light used in the experiment. What is the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen at a distance D=10dD=10d? (1) I02\frac{I_0}{2} (2) 3I04\frac{3I_0}{4} (3) I0I_0 (4) I04\frac{I_0}{4}
