131.

Light of wavelength 6000 A0 is reflected at nearly normal incidence from a soap film of refractive index 1.4. The least thickness of the film that will appear black is

  • 200 A0

  • 2000 A0

  • 1000 A0

  • Infinity


132.

Light travels faster in air than that in glass .This is accordance with

  • wave theory of light

  • corpuscular theory of light

  • Neither(a) nor(b)

  • Both (a) and (b)


133.

In Young's double slit experiment, light of wavelength 6000 A0 is used to produced fringes of width 0.8 mm at a distance of 2.5 m. If the whole appart is dropped in liquid of refractive index 1.6, then the fringe width will be

  • 0.2mm

  • 0.4mm

  • 0.5mm

  • 0.6mm


134.

Interference was observed in an interference chamber when air was present. Now, the chamber is evacuated and if the same light is used, a careful observation will show

  • no interference

  • interference with bright band

  • interference with dark bands

  • interference in which breadth of the fringe will be slightly increased

Two coherent light beams of intensities I and 4I are superposed. The maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are

  • 5I and I

  • 5 I and 3 I

  • 9 I and I

  • 9 I and 3 I

136.

The tip of a needle does not give a sharp image on a screen. This is due to

  • polarisation

  • interference

  • diffraction

  • None of these


C.

diffraction

As the size of tip of the needle is very small ( because its a point ) and it comes under the range of wavelength of light, so the ray coming from back side of needle ( i.e consider needle's tip just blocking a ray of light) will bend across the tip.

And hence on screen, that ray will also give brightness near so formed image of needle's tip, hence reducing the original sharpness of the needle's tip.

The tip of a needle does not give a sharp image, it is due to diffraction.

  • 10-4 m

  • 10-3 mm

  • 10-4 × πm

  • π × 10-3 m

The magnification produced by a astronomical telescope for normal adjustment is 10 and the length of the telescope is 1.1 m. The magnification, when the image is formed atleast distance of distinct vision is

  • 6

  • 18

  • 16

  • 14
