The figure shows a double slit experiment with P and Q as the slits. The path lengths PX and QX are `nlambda` and `(n+2)lambda` respectively, where n is a whole number and `lambda` is the wavelength. Taking the central fringe as zero, what is formed at X?

A

First bright

B

First dark

C

Second bright

D

Second dark

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Path difference = ` (n + )2 lambda − nlambda = 2lambda` Hence, 2nd bright
