Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(198\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Condition for minimum,

\(d \sin \theta= n \lambda\)

\(\therefore \sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}<1\)

\(n<\frac{d}{\lambda}=\frac{6 \times 10^{-5}}{6 \times 10^{-7}}=100\)

\(\therefore\) Total number of minima on one side \(=99\)

Total number of minima \(=198\)

Correct Answer is 1\(98\)
