    Two coherent light sources P and Q each of wavelength \[\lambda \] are separated by a distance \[3\,\lambda \]as shown. The maximum number of minima formed on line AB which runs from \[-\,\infty \] to \[+\,\infty \]is:

    A) 2

    B) 4

    C) 6

    D) 8

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    There can be three minima from central point to \[\infty \] corresponding to \[\frac{\lambda }{2},\]\[\frac{3\lambda }{2},\]\[\frac{5\lambda }{2}\] path differences. \[\therefore \] total number of minima \[=2{{n}_{\max }}=6\]
