Two beams of monochromatic light with intensities $64 \ mW$ and $4 \ mW$ interfere constructively to produce an intensity of $100 \ mW$. If one of the beams is shifted by a phase angle $\phi$,the intensity is reduced to $84 \ mW$. The magnitude of $\phi$ is

  • A
    $30^\circ$
  • B
    $60^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $\cos^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)$
