In a double-slit diffraction experiment, two slits of width 13.8 × 10-6 m are separated by a distance of 25.4 × 10-6 m, and the wavelength of the incident light is 692 nm. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 5.32 m from the slits. Assume IP is the intensity at a point P, a distance y = 80.1 cm on the screen from the central maximum. Find the ratio of the intensity at P and the intensity at the center of the diffraction pattern (I0), IP/I0.
