Two monochromatic (wavelength = a/5) and coherent sources of electromagnetic waves are placed on the x-axis at the points (2a,0) and (-a,0). A detector moves in a circle of radius R(gtgt2a) whose centre is at the origin. The number of maxima detected during one circular revolution by the detector are

Answer»

60
15
64
None of these

Solution :At points P and Q,

`|Deltax| = 15`, THEREFORE MAXIMA
At points R and S
`Deltax=0`, therefore maxima.
Between P and R (and similarly in other three
QUADRANTS), we will get 14 maxima corresponding
to, `Deltax = lambda, 2lambda ...... 14lambda`.
Therefore, total MAXIMAS are 60.
