Question 43 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 18 of 25, Section A.

Width of one of the two slits in a Young's double slit interference experiment is half of the other slit. The ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern is :
  1. (1)3 : 1
  2. (2)(3+22):(3−22)\left(3 + 2\sqrt{2}\right) : \left(3 - 2\sqrt{2}\right)Official answer
  3. (3)(22+1):(22−1)\left(2\sqrt{2} + 1\right) : \left(2\sqrt{2} - 1\right)
