Problem

In a two-slit interference pattern, the maximum intensity is I0I_0. (1) At a point in the pattern where the phase difference between the waves from the two slits is 60∘60^\circ, what is the intensity? (2) What is the path difference for 480 nm480\,\text{nm} light from the two slits at a point where the phase angle is 60∘60^\circ?
