Physics Wave Optics General MCQ (Single Correct)

An interference is observed due to two coherent sources 'A' & 'B' having phase constant zero separated by a distance 4 λ along the y − axis where λ is the wavelength of the source. A detector D is moved on the positive x − axis. The number of points on the x − axis excluding the points , x = 0 & x = ∞ at which maximum will be observed is

A
three
B
four
C
two
D
infinite

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

At B; Δ P = 4 λ (maxima)

At x = ∞ ; Δ P = 0 (maxima)

Hence in between; the point at which path difference is either λ , or 2 λ or 3 λ → they will be maximas. Hence 3 maximas.
