Detailed Solution
An image S' will form at 5mm behind the mirror. Hence, Path difference at P = ∆x = S'P - SP = 10 mm Also, ∆x = nλ [Condition for minima, as mirror introduces phase difference of π] ⇒n= ∆xλ=10×10-35×10-7 = 20,000th minima At infinity, ∆x = 0 means minima Hence, between lower Infinity and point P , 19,999 maxima exists. No interference occur above point P.
