1. A light source S is placed at the centre of a glass
sphere of radius R and refractive index m. The
maximum angle q with the x-axis (as shown in the
figure) an incident light ray can make without
suffering total internal reflection is
2. Three coherent waves having amplitudes 12 mm,
6 mm and 4 mm arrive at a given point with
successive phase difference of p/2. Then, the
amplitude of the resultant wave is
(A) 7 mm (B) 10 mm (C) 5 mm (D) 4.8 mm
3. With two slits spaced 0.2 mm apart and a screen at
a distance of 1m, the third bright fringe is found to
be at 7.5 mm from the central fringe. The
wavelength of light used is -
(A)400 nm (B) 500 nm
(C) 550 nm (D) 600 nm
4. The intensity of each of the two slits in Young’s
double slit experiment is I0. Calculate the
minimum separation between the two points on the
screen where intensities are 2 I0 and I0. Given, the
fringe width equal to b.
(A)b/4 (B) b/3
(C) b/12 (D) None of these
5. In Young’s double slit experiment, the intensity of
light at a point on the screen where path difference
is l is I. If intensity at another point is I/4, then
possible path differences at this point are-
(A) l/2, l/3 (B) l/3, 2 l/3
(C) l/3, l/4 (D) 2 l/2, l/4
6. YDSE is carried with two thin sheets of thickness
10.4 mm each and refractive index m1 = 1.52 and
m2 = 1.40 covering the slits S1 and S2, respectively.
If white light of range 400 nm to 780 nm is used,
then which wavelength will form maxima exactly
at point O, the centre of the screen-
(A) 416 nm only (B) 624 nm only
(C) 416 nm and 624 nm only (D) None of these
7. Two monochromatic (wavelength = a/5) and
coherent sources of electromagnetic waves are
placed on the x-axis at the points (2a, 0) and
(– a, 0). A detector moves in a circle of radius R
(>>2a) whose centre is at the origin. The number of
maxima detected during one circular revolution by
the detector are
(A) 60 (B) 15 (C) 64 (D) None of these
