Q32 / 107 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Wave Optics
An interference is observed due to two coherent sources and separated by a distance along Y-axis where is the wavelength of the light source used. A detector is moved along the positive X-axis. Find the total number of maxima points are observed on the X-axis excluding the points and ?


Correct answer: 3
Solution
To obtain maxima the path difference
...(i)
Form ABD,
For
So the total no. of maxima points observed are 3.
...(i)
Form ABD,
For
So the total no. of maxima points observed are 3.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
