MCQ
Two coherent sources separated by distance $d$ are radiating in phase having wavelength $l.$ 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
  • A
    $\sin ^{-1} \frac{\mathrm{n} \lambda}{\mathrm{d}}$
  • $\cos ^{-1} \frac{4 \lambda}{\mathrm{~d}}$
  • C
    $\tan ^{-1} \frac{\mathrm{~d}}{4 \lambda}$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1} \frac{\lambda}{4 d}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\cos ^{-1} \frac{4 \lambda}{\mathrm{~d}}$
$\cos ^{-1} \frac{4 \lambda}{\mathrm{~d}}$
