Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsWave Optics
In a YDSE setup, we plot the phase difference ( ) between both waves at point P on the screen against the angular position of point P on the screen. The graph is as shown below. Choose the correct statement(s)
Options
- AThe distance S₁ S₂=2
- BThere are a total of 4 minima on the screen
- CThe first maxima above the centre is at = 4
- DAt = 3 , intensity is minimum.
Correct answer
B. There are a total of 4 minima on the screen
Step-by-step solution
aligned & 2 (d )= & 4 = 2 d ( 2 ) & d=2 aligned So, there will be four minima on screen corresponding to path difference of - 3 2 ,- 2 ,+ 2 and + 3 2
