The image of the point A in the mirror is at `A^(') (6,0)` .
Join `A^(')M` and extend to cut Y-axis at `M^(')` (ray originating from A which strikes the mirror at M gets reflected as the ray `MM^(')` which appears to come from `A^(')` ). Join `A^(')N` and extend to cut Y-axis at `N^(')` (ray originating from A which strikes the mirror at N gets reflected as the ray `N N^(')` which appears to come from `A^(')` ).
From Geometry:
`M^(')=(0,6)
and `N^(')=(0,9)
`M^(')N^9')` is the region on Y-axis in which reflected rays are present .

Interference effects are produced at point P on a screen as a result of direct rays from a 500 nm source and reflected rays from a mirror, as shown in figure. If the sources is 100m to the left of the screen and 1.00 cm above the mirror, find the distance y (in milimeters) to the first dark band above the mirror.
