In Young's double-slit experiment, the ratio of intensities of bright and dark fringes is 9. This means that:

1. the intensities of individual sources are 5 and 4 units respectively.
2. the intensities of individual sources are 4 and 1 unit respectively.
3. the ratio of their amplitudes is 3.
4. the ratio of their amplitudes is 6.

A beam of light AO is incident on a glass slab (μ = 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.
