A beam of light \(AO\) is incident on a glass slab \((\mu= 1.54)\) in a direction as shown in the figure. The reflected ray \(OB\) is passed through a Nicol prism. On viewing through a Nicole prism, we find on rotating the prism that:

        

1. the intensity is reduced down to zero and remains zero.
2. the intensity reduces down somewhat and rises again.
3. there is no change in intensity.
4. the intensity gradually reduces to zero and then again increases.
