Question
Two coherent sources separated by distance d are radiating in phase having wavelength $\lambda$. 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
✓

Answer

(b) Here path difference at a point $P$ on the circle is given by
$\Delta x = d\cos \theta $ ….. (i)
For maxima at $P$
$\Delta x = n\lambda $ ….. (ii)
From equation (i) and (ii)
$n\lambda = d\cos \theta \Rightarrow \theta {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{n\lambda }}{d}} \right) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{4\lambda }}{d}} \right)$
