Two coherent monochromatic point sources S1 and S2 of wavelength λ=600nm are placed symmetrically on either side of the center of the circle as shown. The sources are separated by a distance d=1.8 mm. This arrangement produces interference fringes visible as alternate bright and dark spots on the circumference of the circle. The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots is Δθ . Which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. A A dark spot will be formed at the point P2
  2. B The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots decreases as we move from P1 to P2 along the first quadrant
  3. C At P2 the order of the fringe will be maximum
  4. D The total number of fringes produced between P1 and P2 in the first quadrant is close to 3000
