Question:

Slits of unequal widths are used in a double-slit arrangement to produce an interference pattern on a distant screen. If only the narrower slit I is illuminated (the wider slit 2 is covered), the light reaching the center of the pattern has amplitude E0 and intensity I0. If only slit 2 is illuminated, the amplitude of the light reaching the pattern center is 2E0. When both slits are illuminated and a two-slit interference pattern is on the screen, what is the intensity I(θ) in the pattern as a function of angle θ?
