Let a, be the amplitude of light from first slit and a2 be the amplitude of light from second slit. a1=a, Then a2=2a Intensity I∝(amplitude)2 ∴I1=a12=a2 I2=a22=4a2=4I Ir=a12+a22+2a1a2cosϕ =I1+I2+2√I1I2cosϕ Ir=I1+4I1+2√4I12cosϕ ⇒Ir=5I1+4I1cosϕ . .......... (1) Now,Imax=(a1+a2)2=(a+2a)2=9a2 Imax=9I1⇒I1=
