C.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
In the formation of secondary rainbow, light suffers two total internal reflections instead of one. In this, ray undergoes two internal partial reflections having a maximum deviation of about 50° for red and 54° for violet. Also secondary rainbow will sometimes be formed with inverted colours. Secondary rainbow is fainter than the primary for two reason
(i) the light has undergone two internal reflections and has thereby becomes weakened,
(ii) there is greater angular dispersion in this rainbow than in the primary.
Resolving power of reflecting microscope increase with
decrease in wavelength of incident light
increase in wavelength of incident light
increase in diameter of objective lens
none of these
The near point of distinct vision is at 1 m for an elderly person. What power of lens is to be used to bring the near point to the minimum distance of distinct vision (25 cm)?
2.5 D
3 D
3.5 D
4 D
In a Young's double slit experiment the intensity of light when slit is at distance A from central is I. What will be the intensity at the distance of slit is ?
Polaroid glass is used in sun glasses because
it reduces the light intensity to half on account of polarisation
it is fashionable
it has good colour
it is cheaper
In a Young's double slit experiment the spacing between the slits is 0.3 mm and the screen is kept at a distance of 1.5 m. The second bright fringe is found 6 mm from the central fringe. The wavelength of the light used in the experiment is
625 nm
600 nm
550 nm
500 nm
Assertion: When light ray is incident at polarising angle on glass, refracted light is partially polarised.
Reason: The intensity of light decreases in polarisation.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: A laser beam of 0.2 W power can drill holes through a metal sheet, whereas a 1000 W torch-light cannot.
Reason: The frequency of laser light is much higher than that of torch light.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
In Young's double slit experiment, fringe order is represented by m, then fringe width is
Independent of m
Directly proportional to m
Directly proportional to ( 2m + 1 )
Inversely proportional to (2m + 1 )
A light ray is incident on a glass slab, it is partially reflected and partially transmitted. Then the reflected ray is
completely polarised and highly intense.
partially polarised and poorly intense.
partially polarised and highly intense.
completely polarised and poorly intense.
