$A$ beam with wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a stack of partially reflecting planes with separation $d$. The angle $\theta$ that the beam should make with the planes so that the beams reflected from successive planes may interfere constructively is (where $n = 1, 2, \dots$)

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{d}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{d}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{2d}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{2d}\right)$

Two plane polarized light waves combine at a certain point whose electric field components are $E_1 = E_0 \sin(\omega t)$ and $E_2 = E_0 \sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3})$. Find the amplitude of the resultant wave.

The ratio of maximum and minimum intensities in an interference pattern is $36: 1$. The ratio of the amplitude of the two interfering waves will be

The two coherent sources of equal intensity produce a maximum intensity of $100$ units at a point. If the intensity of one of the sources is reduced by $36\%$ by reducing its width,then the intensity of light at the same point will be:
