Chapter 27, Problem 1FC
To determine

The difference l2l1 in the two path lengths.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is (e) 52λ_ .

Explanation of Solution

There will be a difference between the path length l2 and l1 occurs only when the distance between the path lengths differ by an odd integer number of half wavelengths. This corresponds to λ2 , 3λ2 , 5λ2 and so on. When the path difference is λ2 , the first intensity minimum will occur.

Hence the third will occur when path difference is 5λ2 .

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is (e) 52λ_ .
