Two point source separated by `d=5mum` emit light of wavelength `lamda=2mum` in phase A cicular wire of radius `20mum` is placed aournd the source as shown in figure.

A

Points A and B are dark and points C and D are bright.

B

Point A and B are bright and point C and D are dark

C

Point A and C are dark and points B and D are bright.

D

Points A and C are bright and points B and D are dark.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Path difference for points A & C is O so constructive interference take place.
Path difference for B & D `=5mum=(5lamda)/(2)`
So distructive interference take place.
