wavelength of the incident light is 671 nm. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 4.63 m from the slits. Assume Ip is
the intensity at a point P, a distance y= 69.8 cm on the screen from the central maximum. Find the ratio of the intensity at P
and the intensity at the center of the diffraction pattern (I), Ip/Io.
