The wave length of light ? = 650nm

the seperation between slits d = 4.50?m

the distance between screen D = 4.0m

the postion of point P is y = 13cm

(a) The position of P in terms of phase difference

           ? = 2?/? dsin?

              =[ 2?/(650*10^-9)](4.5*10^-6)(y/D)

since for small angles sin? ? tan? = y/D

            = 0.0435*10^3 (13*10^-2/4)

            = 0.45? rad = 1.413 rad

(b) The ratio of intensity

           I/I0 = 4cos^2(?/2)

                  = 4cos^2(1.413/2)

                   =2.3
