In interference and diffraction, the light energy is redistributed. If it reduces in one region, producing a dark fringe, it increases in another region, producing a bright fringe.

A. As there is no gain or loss of energy, these phenomena are consistent with the principle of conservation of energy.

B. Diffraction and interference are characteristics exhibited only by light waves.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

An unpolarized light beam travelling in air is incident on a medium of refractive index 1.73 at Brewster's angle. Then

Two slits in Young's double slit experiment are $$1.5 \mathrm{~mm}$$ apart and the screen is placed at a distance of $$1 \mathrm{~m}$$ from the slits. If the wavelength of light used is $$600 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}$$ then the fringe separation is
