In an interference experiment, the path difference between two interfering waves at a point $A$ on the screen is $\lambda/3$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of these waves, and at another point $B$ the path difference is $\lambda/6$. The ratio of intensities at points $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . .

Two light waves having the same wavelength $\lambda$ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first wave travels a path $L_{1}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{1}$ while the second wave travels a path of length $L_{2}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{2}$. After this the phase difference between the two waves is:

The intensities of two waves are $2$ and $3$ units,respectively. The average intensity of light in the interference region will be ......
