The path difference between two interfering light waves meeting at a point on the screen is \(\left(\frac{57}{2}\right) \lambda\). The band obtained at that point is

  1. A \(29^{\text {th }}\) bright band
  2. B \(57^{\text {th }}\) dark band
  3. C \(57^{\text {th }}\) bright band
  4. D \(29^{\text {th }}\) dark band
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(29^{\text {th }}\) dark band

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Path difference \(=\frac{57}{2} \lambda=28.5 \lambda\)
Since the path difference is not an integral multiple of \(\lambda\), it is not a bright bond.
Path difference for \(n\)th dark band is given by \(\left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right) \lambda\)
Hence \(\mathrm{n}=29\).
