How does the width of the slits affect the intensity in YDSE.

Solution
Explanation:
The intensity of the light ray is directly proportional to the slit width. Therefore the widths of the slits are greater than the wavelength of the light, the light casts a shadow.
When the widths of the slits are narrow, light undergoes diffraction and the light waves overlap on the screen.
Mathematically
Hence, the intensity of the light is more as the width of the slit increases.
Hence, as the slit's width rises, the light's intensity grows.
