In diffraction, angular width of central maxima is 2λ/b where b is slit width.
In Young's double slit experiment, angular width of each fringe is λ/d where d is the distance between the two slits.
Given : d=6.1b
So, number of maximas observed in central maxima of diffraction pattern
n = (2λ/b) / (λ/d)
∴ n = 2d/b = 2 × 6.1 = 12.2
Thus 12 maximas are observed.
