In Figure (a), the waves along rays 1 and 2 are initially in phase, with the same wavelength \( \lambda \) in air. Ray 2 goes through a material with length \( L \) and index of refraction \( n \). The rays are then reflected by mirrors to a common point \( P \) on a screen. Suppose that we can vary \( n \) from \( n=1.00 \) to \( n=2.83 \). Suppose also that, from \( n=1.00 \) to \( n=n_s=1.05 \), the intensity \( I \) of the light at point \( P \) varies with \( n \) as given in Figure (b). At what values of \( n \) greater than 1.04 is intensity \( I \) (a) maximum and (b) zero? (c) What multiple of \( \lambda \) gives the phase difference between the rays at point \( P \) when \( n=1.10 \)?

**Diagrams:**

- **Figure (a):** A schematic showing ray 1 and ray 2 initially in phase and with the same wavelength \( \lambda \). Ray 2 passes through a material of index of refraction \( n \) with a length \( L \). Both rays are then reflected by mirrors to a point \( P \) on a screen.
- **Figure (b):** A graph showing the variation of intensity \( I \) with respect to the refractive index \( n \). The graph indicates that as \( n \) increases from 1 to \( n_s = 1.05 \), the intensity changes, following a specific pattern.
