Question

Two sources $S_{1}and{S}_2$ emitting light of wavelength 600 nm are placed a distance $1.0\times {10}^{-2}$ cm apart. A detector can be moved on the line $S_{1}P$ which is perpendicular to $S_1{S}_2.$ Locate the position of the farthest minimum detected.

• A. $S_{1}P$=0 m
• B. $S_{1}P$=Infinite
• C. $S_{1}P$= 1.7 m
• D. $S_{1}P$= 6 m

Answer 1
