Consider a light beam incident from air to a glass slab at Brewster's angle as shown in the figure. A polaroid is placed in the path of the emergent ray at point \(P\) and rotated about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the polaroid. Then:
               

1. for a particular orientation, there shall be darkness as observed through the polaroid.
2. the intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall be independent of the rotation.
3. the intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall go through a minimum but not zero for two orientations of the polaroid.
4. the intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall go through a minimum for four orientations of the polaroid.

Consider a ray of light incident from the air onto a slab of glass (refractive index \(n\)) of width \(d\), at an angle \(\theta\). The phase difference between the ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is:
1. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+\pi\)
2. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}\)
3. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+\frac{\pi}{2}\)
4. \(\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+2\pi\)

In Young's double-slit experiment, the source is white light. One of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case,

1. there shall be alternate interference patterns of red and blue
2. there shall be an interference pattern for red distinct from that for blue
3. there shall be no interference fringes
4. there shall be an interference pattern for red mixing with one for blue

The figure shows a standard two-slit arrangement with slits \(S_1, S_2. P_1, P_2\) are the two minima points on either side of \(P\) as shown in the figure.

                                         
At \(P_2\) on the screen, there is a hole and behind \(P_2\) is a second \(2\text-\)slit arrangement with slits \(S_3, S_4\) and a second screen behind them. 

1. There would be no interference pattern on the second screen but it would be lighted.
2. The second screen would be totally dark.
3. There would be a single bright point on the second screen.
4. There would be a regular two-slit pattern on the second screen.
