Question
A physical quantity $A$ is related to four observable $a,b,c$ and $d$ as follows, $A = \frac{{{a^2}{b^3}}}{{c\sqrt d }}$, the percentage errors of measurement in $a,b,c$ and $d$ are $1\%,3\%,2\% $ and $2\% $ respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity $A$ ......... $\%$

Answer

$A =\frac{ a ^{2} b ^{3}}{ c \sqrt{ d }}$

$\frac{\Delta a }{ a } \times 100=1 \%,$$ \frac{\Delta b }{ b } \times 100=3 \%,$$ \frac{\Delta c }{ c } \times 100=2 \%$ and $\frac{\Delta d }{ d } \times 100=2 \%$

$\frac{\Delta A }{ A } \times 100=2 \frac{\Delta a }{ a } \times 100+3 \frac{\Delta b }{ b } \times 100+$$\frac{\Delta c }{ c } \times 100+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\Delta d }{ d } \times 100$

$\frac{\Delta A }{ A } \times 100=2 \times 1+3 \times 3+2+\frac{1}{2} \times 2=14 \%$

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 $n_1\left(\neq n_2\right)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. 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 $d$.

$(B)$ 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 $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam, with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.
