Wave Optics Quiz 5

Dear Readers,

JEE Advanced Physics Syllabus can be referred by the IIT aspirants to get a detailed list of all topics that are important in cracking the entrance examination. JEE Advanced syllabus for Physics has been designed in such a way that it offers very practical and application-based learning to further make it easier for students to understand every concept or topic by correlating it with day-to-day experiences. In comparison to the other two subjects, the syllabus of JEE Advanced for physics is developed in such a way so as to test the deep understanding and application of concepts. .

  2 / 3
  )λ
•  Frequency v and wavelength (
  3 / 2
  )λ
•  Frequency v and wavelength λ
•  Frequency (
  3 / 2
  )v and wavelength λ

Solution

Q4. In a double-slit experiment, the distance between the slits is d. The screen is at a distance D from the slits. If a bright fringe is formed opposite to a slit on the screen, the order of the fringe is

•  
  d² / 2λD
•  
  d / 2λD
•  
  d² / 4λD

Solution

Q6. Light waves travel in vacuum along the -axis. Which of the following may represent the wavefront?

Solution

Q7. In Young’s double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, the light pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index μ and thickness t microns is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the plane of slits and the screen is double. It is found that the distance between successive maxima (or minima) now is the same as the observed fringe shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of light?

•  (1/2)t(μ-1)
•  t(μ-1)
•  μt
•  3μt

Solution
