In a diffraction pattern due to single slit of width a, the first minimum is obsrved at an angle 30^o when light of wavelength  is incident on the slit. The first secondary maximum is observed at an angle of:

• sin^-1 (2/3)

• sin^-1 (1/2)

• sin^-1 (3/4)

• sin^-1 (3/4)

112.

On observing light from three different stars P, Q and R, It was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of P, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of R and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of Q. If T_P, T_Q and T_R are the respective absolute temperature of P, Q and R, then  it can conclude from the above observations that

• T_P > T_Q>T_R
  

• T_P > T_R> T_Q

• T_P > T_R < T_Q

• T_P > T_R < T_Q

In a double slit experiment, the two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed in 1 m away. A monochromatic light of wavelength 500nm is used. What will be the width of each slit for obtaining ten maxima of double slit within the central maxima of double slit within the central maxima of single slit pattern?

• 0.2mm

• 0.1 mm

• 0.5 mm

• 0.5 mm

For a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength 'λ'diffraction is produced by single slit whose width 'a' is of the order of the wavelength of the light. If 'D' is the distance of the screen from the slit the width of the central maxima will be

• 2Dλ/a

• Dλ/a

• Da/λ

• Da/λ

When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1.47 is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index

• less than one

• greater than that of glass

• greater than that of glass

A beam of light of  = 600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 mm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The distance between first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is,

• 2.4 cm

• 2.4 cm

In the young's double slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen (where the path difference is ) is K. The intensity at a point where the path difference is  will be,

• K/4

• K/2

• K/2
