In a Young's double-slit experiment,how many maxima occur between the 4^th order maxima? A)6 B)7 C)8 D)Three more than the number of minima.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of maxima between any two order maxima is given by (m+1), where m is the order number of the first maximum. Thus, between the 4th order maximum and the 1st order maximum, there are (4-1+1) = 4 maxima. Similarly, between the 1st order maximum and the 0th order maximum, there are (1-0+1) = 2 maxima. So, the total number of maxima between the 4^th order maxima is 4+2 = 6, which corresponds to option B.
