Coherent microwave light with a frequency f= 2.0*1010 Hz is incident on a d=5.0 cm double slit barrier, producing an interference pattern of a number of maxima and minima. A detector is free to swing around the full 180 degrees in order to find the presence of intereference maxima and minima. How many different minima will this detector detect, as it is allowed to swing around the full 180 degrees? Include minima on both sides of the centerkine in your count.

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
