  1. A path difference is \(9200 Å\)
  2. B phase difference is \(\pi\) radian
  3. C phase difference is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radian
  4. D path difference is \(6300 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) path difference is \(6300 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For maxima, path difference \(=\mathrm{n} \lambda\)
For first maximum, \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
\(\therefore\) Path difference, \(\lambda=6300 Å\)
