Matrix – Match Type
This section contains 2 questions. Each question contains statements given in two columns, which have to be matched. The statements in column I are labeled A, B, C and D, while the statements in column II are labeled p, q, r, s and t. Any given statement in column I can have correct matching with one or more statement(s) in column II.

In the cases B, C and D, a transparent sheet of refractive index μ and thickness t is pasted on slit S2. The thickness of the sheets are different in different cases. The phase difference between the light waves reaching a point P on the screen from the two slits is denoted by δ(P) and the intensity by I(P). Match each situation given in Column I with the statement(s) in Column II valid for that situation.
