What is the path difference of destructive interference

A

`nlambda`

B

`n(lambda+1)`

C

`((n+1)lambda)/2`

D

`((2n+a)lambda)/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For destructive interference,
`cos phi=min=-1`
i.e., `phi=pmpi,pm3pi, pm 5pi`
or `phi=pm(2n+1)pi`
with `n=0, 1, 2, 3...`
or `Deltax=pm((2n+1)lambda)/2`
