  • A
    $V = \frac{I_{\max} - I_{\min}}{I_{\max} + I_{\min}}$
  • B
    $V = \frac{I_{\max} + I_{\min}}{I_{\max} - I_{\min}}$
  • C
    $V = \frac{I_{\max}}{I_{\min}}$
  • D
    $V = \frac{I_{\min}}{I_{\max}}$

The figure shows two point sources which emit light of wavelength $\lambda$ in phase with each other and are at a distance $d = 5.5 \lambda$ apart along a line which is perpendicular to a large screen at a distance $L$ from the center of the sources. Assume that $d$ is much less than $L$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?

Among the two interfering monochromatic sources $A$ and $B$; $A$ is ahead of $B$ in phase by $66^\circ$. If the observation is taken from point $P$,such that $PB - PA = \lambda / 4$. Then the phase difference between the waves from $A$ and $B$ reaching $P$ is.....$^\circ$.
