(B) Given: Intensities of two beams of monochromatic light are $I_1 = 64 \ mW$ and $I_2 = 4 \ mW$.The formula for the resultant intensity of two interfering waves is given by $I = I_1 + I_2 + 2 \sqrt{I_1 I_2} \cos \phi$.When the intensity is reduced to $84 \ mW$,we substitute the known values into the equation:$84 = 64 + 4 + 2 \sqrt{64 \times 4} \cos \phi$$84 = 68 + 2 \times 8 \times 2 \cos \phi$$84 - 68 = 32 \cos \phi$$16 = 32 \cos \phi$$\cos \phi = \frac{16}{32} = \frac{1}{2}$Therefore,$\phi = \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) = 60^\circ$.
