  • Q2
    What is the term used to describe the interference phenomenon that occurs when light waves interact with a thin film, causing certain colors to be enhanced or canceled out?
    Compton effect
    Raman scattering
    Thin film interference
    Photoelectric effect
    60s
  • Q3
    What is the color observed when constructive interference occurs with visible light waves of all colors?
    Red light
    White light
    Black light
    Blue light
    60s
  • Q4
    What is the main difference between interference and diffraction of light?
    Interference involves the combination of multiple light waves, while diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles.
    Interference leads to the creation of new light sources, while diffraction does not.
    Diffraction only occurs in materials, while interference occurs in vacuum.
    Interference results in the change of light's color, while diffraction changes its speed.

  • Q5
    Which phenomenon occurs when two or more light waves overlap leading to the reinforcement or cancellation of each other?
    Diffraction
    Refraction
    Reflection
    Interference

  • Q6
    What is the result of constructive interference in the context of light waves?
    Scattering of light waves
    Cancellation of light waves
    Absorption of light waves
    Reinforcement of light waves
    60s
  • Q7
    What is the term used to describe the superposition of two or more light waves leading to a decrease in intensity at certain points?
    Dispersion
    Polarization
    Destructive interference
    Diffraction
    60s
  • Q8
    Which phenomenon describes the bending of light waves around obstacles or through small openings?
    Diffraction
    Reflection
    Dispersion
    Refraction
    60s
  • Q9
    What is the main difference between single-slit diffraction and double-slit interference?
    Single-slit diffraction only occurs with transparent materials while double-slit interference occurs with opaque materials.
    Single-slit diffraction results from a single opening while double-slit interference results from two closely spaced openings.
    Single-slit diffraction produces a rainbow pattern whereas double-slit interference creates a circular pattern.
    Single-slit diffraction involves red light while double-slit interference involves blue light.

  • Q10
    Which factor influences the amount of diffraction observed for light passing through a narrow slit?
    Distance from the slit
    Intensity of light
    Optical density of the medium
    Wavelength of light
    60s
  • Q11
    What is the phenomenon where light bends as it passes from one transparent medium to another?
    Diffraction
    Reflection
    Dispersion
    Refraction
    60s
  • Q12
    What is the mathematical relationship between the angle of diffraction and the wavelength of light in a single-slit diffraction pattern?
    theta = (m * lambda) / d
    tan(theta) = (m * lambda) / d
    cos(theta) = (m * lambda) / d
    sin(theta) = (m * lambda) / d
    60s
  • Q13
    What type of diffraction pattern is produced when light passes through a circular aperture?
    Rectangular diffraction pattern
    Circular diffraction pattern
    Hexagonal diffraction pattern
    Spiral diffraction pattern
    60s
  • Q14
    What property of light is quantized in quanta?
    Energy
    Wavelength
    Velocity
    Frequency
    60s
  • Q15
    Which scientist proposed the concept of quanta to explain the behavior of light?
    Albert Einstein
    Erwin Schrödinger
    Max Planck
    Niels Bohr
