In an interference pattern the path difference between waves starting from S_(1) and S_(2) and reaching at P is 1.5 microns i.e. S_(2)P - S_(1)P = 1.5 microns. If the wavelength of light used be 6000 Å, then the point P is :

II ND Max.
II nd Min.
Third min.
Fourth min.

Solution :PATH difference = `S_(2)P - S_(1)P = 1.5 xx 10^(-6)` m
`= (1.5 xx 10^(-6))/(6 xx 10^(-7)) lambda` ....(i)

In terms of `lambda`,
`= 2.5 lambda = (2N -1) lambda/2`...(ii)
`therefore n = 3`.
