Young's double slit Experiment
Question

Two coherent sources separated by distance d are radiating in phase having wavelength λ A detector moves in a big circle around the two sources in the plane of the two sources. The angular position of n = 4 interference maxima is given as

Moderate
Solution

Here path difference at a point P on the circle is given by

Δx=dcosθ          …..(i)

For maxima at P

Δx=              …..(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii)

=dcosθθ=cos1d=cos14λd
