The phase difference corresponding to path difference of x is

A

`(2pix)/(lamda)`

B

`(2pilamda)/(x)`

C

`(pix)/(lamda)`

D

`(pilamda)/(x)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

When path difference is `lamda` then phase difference is `2pi` When path difference is 1 then phase difference is `(2pi)/(lamda)` when path difference is x then phase difference is `(2pi)/(lamda)x`
