Question

Intensity observed in an interference pattern is $$I = {I_0}{\sin ^2}\theta .$$   At $$\theta = {30^ \circ }$$  intensity $$I = 5 \pm 0.0020\,W/{m^2}.$$     Find percentage error in angle if $${I_0} = 20\,W/{m^2}.$$

A. $$\frac{4}{\pi }\sqrt 3 \times {10^{ - 2}}\% $$  
B. $$\frac{2}{\pi }\sqrt 3 \times {10^{ - 2}}\% $$
C. $$\frac{1}{\pi }\sqrt 3 \times {10^{ - 2}}\% $$
D. $$\frac{3}{\pi }\sqrt 3 \times {10^{ - 2}}\% $$
Answer :   $$\frac{4}{\pi }\sqrt 3 \times {10^{ - 2}}\% $$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & I = {I_0}{\sin ^2}\theta \Rightarrow \theta = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{I}{{{I_0}}}} \cr & d\theta = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{\sqrt {{I_0}} }}{{\sqrt {{I_0} - I} }}\frac{{dI}}{{\sqrt {{I_0}} \sqrt I }} \cr & \frac{{d\theta }}{\theta } = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{dI}}{{\sqrt {I\left( {{I_0} - I} \right)} {{\sin }^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{I}{{{I_0}}}} }} \cr & \therefore \% \,{\text{error}} = \frac{4}{\pi }\sqrt 3 \times {10^{ - 2}}\% \cr} $$
