Young's double-slit experiment is performed using microwaves of wavelength $\lambda = 3 \, cm$. The distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is $D = 100 \, cm$,and the distance between the slits is $d = 5 \, cm$. Find $(a)$ the number of maxima and $(b)$ their positions on the screen.

    $1, 0$
  • B
