This lecture explores the determination of the maximum intensity observed on the screen in a two-slit interference device using polarizers. Starting with the setup without polarizers, the lecture explains the combination of electric fields and the calculation of intensity. It then introduces Marles' law to analyze the impact of polarizers on intensity, leading to the conclusion of the maximum intensity being 2 times the reference intensity.
