Two identical beams and of plane coherent waves of the same intensity and wavelength on a cylindrical screen. The angle between the directions of the beam propagations is . Consider a point on the screen at angular position from the beam as shown in the figure. Find distance between adjacent interference fringes on the screen near the point . Assume that the distance between adjacent fringes is much less than the radius of the cylinder.
If . Find the fringe width at point on the cylindrical screen.

Let wavelength =l Let fringe width =w Let path difference at P for beam A =x1=wsin(phi) And x2=wsin(theta+phi) Both by simple geometry And for constructive interference l=x1-x2.... put values and get w
