Two waves from coherent sources meet at a point in a phase difference of \(\phi\) and path difference \(\Delta x.\) Both waves have same intensities \(I_0.\) Based on this information, match Column-I and Column-II.
Column-I Column-II
\(\mathrm{(a)}\) If \({\Delta x}=\dfrac{\lambda}{3}\) \(\mathrm{(p)}\) resultant intensity will be \(3I_0\)
\(\mathrm{(b)}\) If \(\phi = 60^{\circ}\) \(\mathrm{(q)}\) resultant intensity will be \(I_0\)
\(\mathrm{(c)}\) If \({\Delta x}=\dfrac{\lambda}{4}\) \(\mathrm{(r)}\) resultant intensity will be zero
\(\mathrm{(d)}\) If \(\phi = 90^{\circ}\) \(\mathrm{(s)}\) resultant intensity will be \(2I_0\)

A parallel beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) is incident normally on a narrow slit. A diffraction pattern is formed on a screen placed perpendicular to the direction of the incident beam. At the second minimum of the diffraction pattern, the phase difference between the rays coming from the two edges of the slit is:
1. \(2 \pi\)
2. \(3 \pi\)
3. \(4 \pi\)
4. \( \pi \lambda\)

Consider a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \(600~\text{nm}.\) It is allowed to pass through a slit of width \(0.15~\text{mm}.\) Assume that the angles involved are very small. The angular divergence in which most of the light gets diffracted will be:
1. \(4\times 10^{-3}~\text{rad}\) 
2. \(2.0\times10^{-3}~\text{rad}\)
3. \(8.0\times10^{-3}~\text{rad}\)
4. \(90^\circ\)

Sound waves travel faster in water than in air. Imagine a plane sound wavefront incident at an angle \(\alpha\) at the air-water interface; the refracted wavefront making an angle \(\beta\) with the interface. Then,
1. \(\alpha>\beta\)
2. \(\beta>\alpha\)
3. \(\alpha=\beta\)
4. the relation between \(\alpha~\&~\beta \) cannot be predicted.
