Question:medium
A monochromatic light of wavelength \( 6000 \, \mathring{A} \) is passed through two media A and B of thickness 10 cm and 16 cm respectively. The number of waves in A is \( \frac{1}{2} \) that of B. If the refractive index of A is \( \frac{4}{3} \), find the refractive index of B.

- The displacement of two light waves, each of amplitude 'a' and frequency \(\omega\), emanating from two coherent sources of light, are given by \(y_1 = a \cos(\omega t)\) and \(y_2 = a \cos(\omega t + \phi)\). \(\phi\) is the phase difference between the two waves. These light waves superpose at a point. Obtain the expression for the resultant intensity at that point.
