JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Evening Slot Physics - Wave Optics Question 113 English Explanation

We know, path difference,

d sin θ\theta = n λ\lambda

here n = no of bright fringer in the angle

here given

d = 0.32 ×\times 10-3 m

λ\lambda = 500 ×\times 10 −- 9 m

∴\therefore   0.32 ×\times 10 −- 3 sin30o = n ×\times 500 ×\times 10 −- 9

⇒\Rightarrow   n = 320

Total number of maxima in the range

−- 30o θ\theta ≤\le 30o is = 320 ×\times 2 + 1 = 641
