Light Passes Through a Pair of Very Thin Parallel Slits

Question 9

Multiple Choice

Light passes through a pair of very thin parallel slits.The resulting interference pattern is viewed far from the slits at various angles θ relative to the centerline coming outward from the midpoint between the slits.The central bright fringe is at θ = 0°.If the central bright fringe has intensity I0,what is the intensity of the next bright fringe on either side of it?
