Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For possible interference maxima on the screen the condition is \(\begin{aligned} d \sin \theta & =n \lambda \quad \ldots (i) \\ \text{Here, } d & =2 \lambda \text { (Given) } \\ 2 \lambda \sin \theta & =n \lambda \\ 2 \sin \theta & =n \end{aligned}\) The maximum value of…
