On the viewing screen, light intensity is a maximum when the two waves interfere constructively. This occurs when
d sin θ = nλ, n = 0, ±1, ±2...
where λ is the wavelength of the light. At θ = 45.0°, 4 = 3.20 x 10-4 m and λ = 500 x 10-9m, we get n = d sin θ/λ = 452.5
Thus, there are 452 maxima in the range 0 < θ = 45.5°. By symmetry, there are also 452 maxima in the range -45.0°< θ < 0. Including the one for n = 0 straight ahead, the total number of maxima is N = 452 + 452 + 1 = 905
