Unpolarized light of intensity I passes through an ideal polarizer A. Another identical polarizer B is placed behind A. The intensity of light beyond B is found to be I/2.Now another identical polarizer C is placed between A and B. The intensity beyond B is now found to be I/8. The angle between polarizer A and C is :

  • 60°

  • 30°

  • 45°


23.

In Young's double slits experiment, if the separation between the slits is halved, and the distance between the slits and the screen is doubled, then the fringe width compared to the original one will be

  • Unchanged

  • Halved

  • Doubled

  • Quadrupled

Huygens' wave theory of light cannot explain

  • Diffraction phenomena

  • Interference  phenomena 

  • Photoelectric effect

  • Polarization of light


C.

Photoelectric effect

Huygen's wave theory of light cannot explain the photoelectric effect. Because it is due to particle nature of light.

  • sin-1 13

  • sin-1 14


28.

In Young's double slit experiment, to increase the fringe width

  • the wavelength of the source is increased

  • the source is moved towards the slit

  • the source is moved away from the slit

  • the slit separation is increased
