Two waves of the same intensity from sources in phase are made to superimpose at a point. If the path difference between these two coherent waves is zero, then the resultant intensity is \(I_0\). If this path difference is \({\dfrac{\lambda}{2}}\) then the resultant intensity is \(I_{1}\) and if the path difference is \(\dfrac{\lambda}{4}\) then resultant intensity is \(I_{2}.\)Then, \(\dfrac{I_{1}+I_{2}}{I_{0}}=\)
(where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of these waves).

2. \(2\)

Consider a ray of light incident from the air onto a slab of glass (refractive index \(n\)) of width \(d\), at an angle \(\theta\). The phase difference between the ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is:
1. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+\pi\)
2. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}\)
3. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+\frac{\pi}{2}\)
4. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+2\pi\)
