Question 5a

I thought it was supposed to look like the first image attached but the mark scheme is mentioning maxima... Can somebody explain please? I guess this is due to it being white light? Is it supposed to look more like the second image?

Thanks for any help

Yeah, it's white light so it looks like Diagram 2.

Actually to be fair, I dunno.
