PhysicsWave OpticsJEE Main 2012

Two coherent plane light waves of equal amplitude makes a small angle α(<< 1) with each other. They fall almost normally on a screen. If λ is the wavelength of light waves, the fringe width Δx of interference patterns of the two sets of waves on the screen is

Answer: (2)

Solution

With the waves inclined at to the normal, the phase difference along the screen grows as ,
