Question

Consider the optical system shown in Fig. The point source of light S is having wavelength equal to . The light is reaching screen only after reflection. For point P to besecond maxima, the value of would be ( D >>d and d>> )

Options

  1. A. 12 d^ 2 D
  2. B. 6 d^ 2 D
  3. C. 3 d^ 2 D
  4. D. 24 d^ 2 D

Answer

A. 12 d^ 2 D

Step-by-step solution

At P , x= (8 d) 3 d D For 2 nd maxima, x=2 array l 24 d^ 2 D =2 \\ = 12 d^ 2 D array
