In Young's double-slit experiment, how many maxima can be obtained on a screen (including the central maximum) on both sides of the central fringe (lambda = 2000 Å)?

Answer»

12
7
18
4

Solution :For maximum intensity on the SCREEN
`d sin THETA = n lambda`
or `sin theta = (n lambda)/(d)`
`= ((n)(2000))/((7000)) = (n)/(35)`
`sin thetage 12 IMPLIES n = 0, 1, 2, 3` only
Thus, only seven maxima can be obtained on both sides of the screen.
