Question A6 Interference is observed between two light beams with parallel electric fields. A very small tilt angle is introduced between the two beams, so that the observed intensity alternates between interference maxima and minima across the detector. The detector measures that the intensity is 200 W m-2 at the intensity maxima, and 32 W m-² at the minima. Calculate the intensities of the two individual beams (in either order of I₁, I2 ).

A laser beam (λ=497 nm) is put through a beam splitter to give 2 equal intensity beams traveling parallel to one another. One of these beams is directed through a double slit apparatus, and the other beam through a single slit apparatus.

The figure shows a double slit located a distance x = 3.15 m from a screen, with the distance from the center of the screen to a bright fringe given by y. When the distance d between the slits is large compared to the wavelength λ, there will be numerous such bright fringes. Calculate the distance between adjacent fringes, in centimeters, for 640-nm light falling on double slits separated by 0.0785 mm. You may assume that θ is small.
