Two coherent sources $S_1, S_2$ and a screen are arranged as shown in the figure. If the distance between the two coherent sources is $n \lambda$ and the distance of the screen from the nearer coherent source is D, then the distance of the first bright fringe on the screen from the point ' $\mathrm{O}$ ' is ( $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light emitted by the coherent sources ) Figure

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{D(D+n \lambda)}{n}}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 D(D+n \lambda)}{n}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{D}(\mathrm{D}+\mathrm{n} \lambda)}{\mathrm{n}}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{D(D+n \lambda)}{2 n}}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
