A beam of unpolarised light of intensity $${{\rm I}_0}$$ is passed through a polaroid $$A$$ and then through another polaroid $$B$$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $${45^ \circ }$$ relative to that of $$A$$. The intensity of the emergent light is

In Young's double slit experiment , one of the slit is wider than other, so that amplitude of the light from one slit is double of that from other slit. If $${{\rm I}_m}$$ be the maximum intensity, the resultant intensity $${\rm I}$$ when they interfere at phase difference $$\phi $$ is given by :

This question has a paragraph followed by two statements, Statement $$-1$$ and Statement $$-2$$. Of the given four alternatives after the statements, choose the one that describes the statements.

A thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plane-convex lens over a plane glass plane. With monochromatic light, this film gives an interference pattern due to light, reflected from the top (convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.

Statement - $$1$$ : When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface, the reflected wave suffers a phase change of $$\pi .$$

Statement - $$2$$ : The center of the interference pattern is dark.

An initially parallel cylindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index $$\mu \left( I \right) = {\mu _0} + {\mu _2}\,I,$$ where $${\mu _0}$$ and $${\mu _2}$$ are positive constants and $$I$$ is the intensity of the light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius.

The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is
