Question

If one of the two slits of a Young’s double-slit experiment is painted so that it transmits half the light intensity as the second slit, then  

Solution

Correct option is

Dark fringes will become brighter and bright fringes darker

The contrast between bright and dark fringes is determined by intensity ratio.
