Detailed Solution

Separation between them.

A sources of monochromatic light illuminates two narrow slits S1 and S2.The two illuminated slits act as the two coherent sources. The two slits is very close to each other and at equal distance from source. The wave front S1 and S2 spread in all direction and superpose and produces dark and bright fringe on screen. Let the displacement of waves from Si and S2 at point P on screen at time t is
Question Image
y1=a1sin ωty2=a2sin (ωt+ϕ)
The resultant displacement at point P is given by
y=y1+y2=a1sinωt+a2sin(ωt+ϕ)=a1,sinωt+a2sinωt cosϕ+a2cosωtsinϕ=a1+a2cosϕsinωt +a2sinϕcosωt.(i)
Let 
a1+a2cosϕ=Acosϕ       ....(ii)a2sinϕ=Asinϕ                  ...(iii)
Therefore, equation (i) becomes
y=Acosθsinωt+Asinθ=Asin(ωt+θ)
This is the resultant displacement.
Now, squaring and adding equations (ii) and (iii)
A2cos2θ+A2sin2θ=a1+a2cosϕ2+a22sin2ϕA2=a12+a22+2a1a2cosϕ
The is intensity of light is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude
ie., I=a12+a22+2a1a2cosϕ
This is the expression for intensity at a point of interference pattern.
or   I=I1+I2+2I1I2cos ϕ
(b) Here, λ=620nm=620×109m
a=3×103m, D=1.5m
Distance of first order minima from the centre,
y1=a=1.5×620×1093×103=3.1×104m
Distance of third order maxima on the same side, 
y2=72a=7×1.5×620×1092×3×103=10.85×104m

OR

Total internal reflection is the phenomenon of reflection of light into a denser medium from an interface of the denser medium and the rarer medium. Two essential conditions for total internal reflection: Incident ray should travel in the denser medium and refracted ray should travel in the rarer medium. 

The angle of incidence (i) should be greater than the critical angle for the pair of media in contact. 

The relation between refractive index and critical angle (C): 

  When i=C and r=90 μbμa=1sinC aμb=1sinC
