In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is \(\lambda\) is \(K\), (\(\lambda\) being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\) will be:
1. \(K\)
2. \(\frac{K}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{K}{2}\)
