(A)→(P), (S)
Since the path difference is

the phase difference becomes
δ(P0) = 0
The intensity at any point is

I(P1) (B)→(Q)
In this case, the path difference at
P1 is

(C)→(T)
In this case, the path difference at
P1 is

Therefore,
I(P1) =

(D)→(R), (S), (T)
In this case, the path difference at

P1 is
P1 =

Therefore,
I(P1) =
Imaxcos2() = 0
The path difference at
P0 is
P0 = 0 - (µ - 1)t =
Therefore, the phase difference at
