In an interference, the intensity of two interfering waves are  I  and  4I  respectively. They produce intensity at two points A and B with phase angle of  π2 and  π respectively. Then difference in between them is

  • I

  • 2 I

  • 4 I

  • 5 I


C.

4 I

Resultant intensity

    I = I1 + I2 + 2 I1I2 cosϕ

Here I1 = I 

        I2 = 4 I

         ϕ1 = π2

  and   ϕ2 = π

At A intensity

   IA = I + 4I + 24 I2 cosπ2

    IA = 5I

At B intensity

    IB = I + 4I + 24I2 cosπ

    IA = I

Therefore, difference between intensities is 

    IA - IB 

=  5I - I

=  4I

In a single slit diffraction with k = 500 nm and lens of diameter 0.1 mm then width of central maxima, obtain on screen at a distance of 1 m will be

  • 5 mm

  • 1 mm

  • 10 mm

  • 2.5 mm

Assertion:  When white light fall on the compact disc, multicolours are seen after reflection. 

Reason: CD disc behaves like a prism.

  • 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.


54.

Assertion:  If objective and eye lenses of a microscope are interchanged then it can work as telescope. 

Reason:  The objective lens of telescope has  small focal length.

  • 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, the  two  slits  act  as coherent  sources  of  equal  amplitude  α  and  of  wavelength  λ. In  another  experiment  with  the  same  set  up,  the two  slits  are  sources  of  equal  amplitude  α  and  wavelength  λ, but  are  incoherent. The  ratio  of  intensities  of  light  at  the  midpoint  of  the  screen  in  the  first  case  to  that  in  the  second  case  is

  • 2 : 1

  • 1 : 2

  • 3 : 4

  • 4 : 3


56.

In Young's double slit experiment, the distance between two slits is made three times then the fridge width will become

  • 9 times

  • 1/9 times

  • 3 times

  • 1/3 times

Light  is  incident  normally  on  a  diffraction  grating  through  which  the  first  diffraction  is seen  at 32°. In  this  case  the  second  order  diffraction will  be

  • at 80o

  • at 64o

  • at 48o

  • there is no second order diffraction


58.

Assertion: A white source of light during interference forms only white and black fringes.

Reason: Width of fringe is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light used.

  • 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

If a  street light of mass Mis suspended from the end of a uniform rod of length L in different possible patterns as shown in figure, then

      

  • pattern A is more sturdy

  • pattern B is more study

  • pattern C is more sturdy

  • all will have same sturdiness


60.

Assertion:  Standard optical diffraction gratings cannot be used for discriminating between different X-ray wavelengths. 

Reason: The grating spacing is not of the order of X-ray wavelengths.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If assertion is true, but reason is false

  • Both assertion and reason are false statements
