Two coherent narrow slits emitting light...

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength `lambda` in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of `2lambda`. The light is collected on a screen S which is placed at a distance D(`gtgt lambda`) from the slit `S_1` as shown in figure. Find the finite distance x such that the intensity at P is equal to intensity O.

In a Lloyds's mirror experiment as narrow slit S transmitting a light of wavelength lambda is placed 3 mm above a small plane mirror ( as shown). The light coming directly from the the slit and that coming after the reflection interfere on a screen placed at a distance of 90 cm from the slit. Length of mirror is 2 mm and the middle point of mirror is 2 mm from point P. If the mirror is shifted towards left then how does the fringe pattern on screen changes ?
