Draw an intensity distribution graph in case of a double-slit interference pattern.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The graph depicts maxima and minima due to constructive and destructive interference, with maxima at integer multiples of \( \lambda \) and minima at odd multiples of \( \lambda / 2 \).

Questions Asked in CBSE CLASS XII exam
A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.
