The width of one of the two slits in Young's double slit experiment is d while that of the other slit is $\displaystyle x \mathrm{~d}$. If the ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern on the screen is $\displaystyle 9$ : $\displaystyle 4$ then what is the value of $\displaystyle x$ ?
(Assume that the field strength varies according to the slit width.)
