A double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium 2 of refractive index?`n_(2)`. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium 1 of refractive index`n_(1)(!= n_(2))`. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is ?. The slit widths are much smaller than d. A monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium 1. A detector is placed in medium 2 at a large distance from the slits, and at an angle`theta` ? from the line joining them, so that ?`theta` equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.

Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

A

The phase difference between the two rays is independent of ?.

B

The two rays interfere constructively at the detector

C

The phase difference between the two rays depends on `n_(1)` but is independent of `n_(2)`.

D

The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of ? and the angle of incidence of the beam, with `theta` being the corresponding angle of refraction.
