JEE Advanced 2023 Medium - 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 \(S_1 P_0=S_2 P_0\), \(S_1 P_1-S_2 P_1=\frac{\lambda}{4}\) and \(S_1 P_2-S_2 P_2=\frac{\lambda}{3}\), where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the light used. In the cases \(\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{D}\), a transparent sheet of refractive index \(\mu\) and thickness \(t\) is pasted on slit \(S_2\). The thickness 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.

- Paragraph:
Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, \({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}\) known as deuteron and denoted by \(D\) can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The \(D\) - \(D\) reaction is \({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}+{ }_1^2 \mathrm{H} \rightarrow{ }_2^3 \mathrm{He}+n+\) energy. In the core of fusion reactor. A gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of \({ }_1^4 \mathrm{H}\) nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time \(t_0\) before the particles fly away from the core. If n is the density (number/volume) of deutrons, the product t \(_0\) is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria, \(a\) reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than \(5 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{scm}^{-3}\).
It may be helpful to use the following : Boltzmann constant \(k=8.6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{eV} / \mathrm{K}\); \(\frac{e^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=1.44 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{eVm}\)
