Two light waves having the same waveleng...

Two light waves having the same wavelength `lambda` in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first ray travels a path of length `L_(1)` through a medium of refractive index `mu_(1)`. Then second ray travels a path of length `L_(2)` throug a medium of refractive index `mu_(2)`. The two waves are then combined to observed interference effects. The phase difference between the two, when they interfere, is
