(b) Derive a mathematical expression for the width of interference fringes obtained in Young's double slit experiment with the help of a suitable diagram.
(c) If s is the size of the source and b its distance from the plane of the two slits, what should be the criterion for the interference fringes to be seen?
OR
(a) In Young's double slit experiment, describe briefty how bright and dark fringes are obtained on the screen kept in front of a double slit. Hence obtain the expression for the fringe width.
(b) The ratio of the intensities at minima to the maxima in the Young's double slit experiment is 9 : 25. Find the ratio of the widths of the two slits.
