$A$ laser beam can be focused on an area equal to the square of its wavelength. $A$ $He-Ne$ laser radiates energy at the rate of $1 \, mW$ and its wavelength is $632.8 \, nm$. The intensity of the focused beam will be:

$A$ monochromatic light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is placed at $S$. Three slits $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ are equidistant from the source $S$ and the point $P$ on the screen. $S_1P - S_2P = \lambda / 6$ and $S_1P - S_3P = 2\lambda / 3$. If $I$ is the intensity at $P$ when only one slit is open,the intensity at $P$ when all the three slits are open is

Column $I$ shows four situations of standard Young's double slit arrangement with the screen placed far away from the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$. In each of these cases $S_1 P_0 = S_2 P_0$,$S_1 P_1 - S_2 P_1 = \lambda / 4$ and $S_1 P_2 - S_2 P_2 = \lambda / 3$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used. In the cases $B, C$ and $D$,a transparent sheet of refractive index $\mu$ and thickness $t$ is pasted on slit $S_2$. The thicknesses of the sheets are different in different cases. The phase difference between the light waves reaching a point $P$ on the screen from the two slits is denoted by $\delta(P)$ and the intensity by $I(P)$. Match each situation given in Column $I$ with the statement$(s)$ in Column $II$ valid for that situation.
Column $I$Column $II$
$(A)$ No sheet$(p)$ $\delta(P_0) = 0$
$(B)$ $(\mu-1)t = \lambda / 4$$(q)$ $\delta(P_1) = 0$
$(C)$ $(\mu-1)t = \lambda / 2$$(r)$ $I(P_1) = 0$
$(D)$ $(\mu-1)t = 3\lambda / 4$$(s)$ $I(P_0) > I(P_1)$
$(t)$ $I(P_2) > I(P_1)$
