Path difference is a half-integral multiple of wavelength. What is seen?
AA dark fringe
BA bright fringe
CA coloured fringe
DA 4I0 intensity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A dark fringe
A path difference of (n + 1/2) lambda puts the waves in antiphase, so they cancel and give destructive interference.
