As shown in arrangement waves with identical wavelengths and amplitudes and that are initially in phase travel through different media, Ray 1 travels through air and Ray 2 through a transparent medium for equal length L, in four different situations. In each situation the two rays reach a common point on the screen. The number of wavelengths in length L is N2 for Ray 2 and N1 for Ray 1. In the following table, values of N1 and N2 are given for all four situations, The order of the situations according to the intensity of the light at the common point in descending order is :

Situations 1 2  3  4
 N1 2.25 1.80 3.00 3.25
N2 2.25 2.80 3.25 4.00

In the figure shown in a YDSE, a parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from a medium of refractive index n1. The wavelength of light in this medium is λ1. A transparent slab of thickness 't' and refractive index n3 is put in front of one slit. The medium between the screen and the plane of the slits is n2. The phase difference between the light waves reaching point O (Symmetrical, relative to the slits) is :

In the figure shown, a parallel beam of light is incident on the plane of the slits of Young's double slit experiment. Light incident on the slit, S1 passes through a medium of variable refractive index μ=1+ax (where 'x' is the distance from the plane of slits as shown), upto a distance 'l' before falling on S1. Rest of the space is filled with air. If at 'O' a minima is formed, then the minimum value of the positive constant a (in terms of l and wavelength 'λ'  in air) is:
