\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{I}_{\max }=\mathrm{k} \\\\ \mathrm{I}_{1}=\mathrm{I}_{2}=\mathrm{K} / 4 \\\\ \Delta \mathrm{x}=\lambda / 6 \Rightarrow \Delta \phi=\pi / 3 \\\\ \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}_{2}+2 \sqrt{\mathrm{I}_{1} \mathrm{I}_{2}} \cos \phi \\\\ \mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{K}}{4}+\frac{\mathrm{K}}{4}+2 \times \frac{\mathrm{K}}{4} \frac{1}{2} \\\\ =\frac{\mathrm{K}}{2}+\frac{\mathrm{K}}{4}=\frac{3 \mathrm{~K}}{4}=\frac{9 \mathrm{~K}}{12} \\\\ \mathrm{n}=9 \end{array}
