    The wavelength of light used in Young's double slit experiment, is λ\lambda. The intensity at a point on the screen is I, where the path difference is λ6\dfrac{\lambda}{6}. If I0I_0 is the maximum intensity then the ratio I to I0I_0 is (cos⁡30∘=32)\left(\cos 30^\circ = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)
