- Q1
Wavefront is the locus of all points, where the particles of the medium vibrate with the same:
(a) phase
(d) period
(c) frequency
(b) amplitude(
120s - Q2
Huygen’s concept of secondary wave
is used to determine the velocity of light
is a geometrical method to find a wavefront
is used to explain polarisation
allows us to find the focal length of a thick lens

120s - Q7
Two sources of light are said to be coherent, when they give light waves of same:
wavelength and constant phase difference
intensity and wavelength
phase and speed
amplitude and phase
120s - Q8
In Young’s double slit experiment, the minimum amplitude is obtained when the phase difference of super-imposing waves is (where n = 1, 2, 3, ...):
(n + 1) π
n π
ZERO
(2 n – 1) π

Two sets of interferencefringes overlap
The intensity of the brightfringes doubled
The intensity of the brightfringes becomes four times
No interference pattern isobserved
120s - Q12
A parallel beam of light of wavelength600 nm is incident normally on a slit of width ‘a’. If the distance between the slits and the screen is 0.8 m and the distance of 2nd ordermaximum from the centre of the screen is 15 mm, calculate the width of the slit.

300s - Q13
In Young's double slit experiment usingmonochromatic light of wavelength 600nm,interference pattern was obtained on a screen kept 1.5m away from the plane of the two slits. The distance between the two slits, if fringeseparation/fringe width was found to be 1.0mm is:
