Answer:
The values is [tex]m_{max} = 8001 \ bright \ spots[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The slit distance is [tex]d = 2 \ mm = 2*10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 500 \ nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
At the first half of the screen from the central maxima
The number of bright spot according to the condition for constructive interference is
[tex]n = \frac{d * sin (\theta )}{\lambda}[/tex]
For maximum number of spot [tex]\theta = 90^o[/tex]
So
[tex]n = \frac{2*10^{-3} * sin (90 )}{500 *10^{-9}}[/tex]
[tex]n =4000[/tex]
Now for the both sides plus the central maxima we have
[tex]m_{max} = 2 * n + 1[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]m_{max} = 2 * 4000 + 1[/tex]
[tex]m_{max} = 8001 \ bright \ spots[/tex]
