The correct Answer is:
D
`S_(1)P-S_(2)P=(d^(2))/(2D)=(2xx10^(-3)xx2xx0^(-3))/(2xx(8)/(5))=(5)/(2)lamda" "(lamda=500nm)`
So when S is at `infty` there is `1^(st)` minima and when S is at `S_(2)` there is last minima because `d//lamda=4000`
So the number of minima's will be 4001 and number of maxima's will be 4000.
