Two light waves having the same wavelength λ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then, the first ray travels a path of length L1 through a medium of refractive indexμ1 . The second ray travels a path of length L2 through a medium of refractive indexμ2 . The two waves are then combined to observe interference effects. The phase difference between the two, when they interfere, is
