The correct Answer is:
D
Interference will be obtained between
direct rays from S and reflected rays from S' (image
of S on mirror).
Since, the reflected rays will lie between region P and
Q on the screen. So, interference is obtained in this
region only. From geometry will can show that,
OP = 1.9cm and OQ = 3.9cm.
`:. PQ=2cm`
`Fringe width, omega=(lambdaD)/d = ((5000 xx 10^(-8))(200))/(2 xx 10^(-1)) cm = 0.05 cm`
Total number of fringes in the region PQ,
`N=(PQ)/omega = 2/0.05 = 40`
