Question:
In a double slit experiment, when light of wavelength \(400 nm\) was used, the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed \(1 m\) away, was found to be \(0.2°\). What will be the angular width of the first minima, if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? \((\mu_{water}\)\(=\frac43)\)

- Assertion (A): When two waves of equal amplitude and a phase difference of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) interfere, the resulting intensity is equal to the intensity of one wave. Reason (R): In interference, the resultant intensity is always the sum of individual intensities if the phase difference is non-zero.
