$A$ beam with wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a stack of partially reflecting planes with separation $d$. The angle $\theta$ that the beam should make with the planes so that the beams reflected from successive planes may interfere constructively is (where $n = 1, 2, \dots$)

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{d}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{d}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{2d}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{2d}\right)$
