Solution of wave optics

1. (b) Let a be the amplitude of the each waves then I0 = (a + a)2 = 4a2
When one of the slits is closed I = a2 = I0/4

2. (c) I1/I2 = (a1/a2)2 = (3/4)2 = 9/16

3. (d) We know that light waves, reflected from the upper and lower surfaces of a thin film (soap bubble)
interfere with each other. The coloured interference fringes are produced due to constructive and
destructive interference, which depend upon the wavelength of light used. Therefore due to
interference beautiful bubbles.

4. (b) (Xn) = 0.9 X 10-2 = nD/d or = (0.9 X 10-2) X d/n X D

-2 -3
= (0.9 X 10 ) X (0.28 X 10 )/3 X 1.4, = 6 X 10-7 m = 6000

5. (b) = D/d 1/d, 1/2 = d2/d1 /2 = 2d/d, 2 = /2

6. (d) 7. (d) a1 = , a2 = 2 , Imax = (a1 + a2)2 = 9I, Imin = (a1 a2)2 = I

8. (b) The wave amplitude at A will be : EA = (E201 + E202)1/2 (phase difference /2)
The wave amplitude at B will be : EB = E01 E02 (Phase difference )
The intensity difference between A and B will be : IA IB E2A E2B = (E201 + E202) (E01 + E02)2
E201 + E202 E201 E202 + 2E01 E02, 2E01 E02 = 2 ( ) ( ) = 4I

9. (b) In a double slit experiment, maxima are observed when m = d (y/D) where m = 0, 1, 2, .,
Hence, for the same values of d,y and D, we must have m22 = m11
or m2 = m1 (1/2) = (12) (600nm/400nm) = 18

10. (d) xn = nD/d = constt. Or n = dxn/D = constt. Or m1 = n2

or m X 6500 = (m + 1) X 5200, or m = 4 and n = 5

11. (d) 12. (c) For first minimum or a sin = ,

or a = /sin 300 = 6500 X 2 = 13000 , = 1.3 X 10-6 m = 1.3 m

13. (b) = D/d , or < b or < b

14. (d) 15. (c) y = D/d ( - 1) t = ( - 1)t/ , = (1.5 1) X 2 X 10-6/5 X 10-7 = 2 upward

16. (b) 17. (b) For interference maxima = d sin = n , or 2 sin = n P

or sin = n/2 .
S1
This condition can be satisfied for 5 different values of n
n = - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, Hence maximum number of bright fringes = 5 d

18. (b) Width of central maximum W = 2f/a or green < red S2

Hence pattern will be contracted. (SYMBOL) = r2/ = 2.3 X 2.3 X 10-6 = 9 m

19. (a) For second maximum a sin = 5/2, or a = a x/f = 5/2

or (2x) = 5f /a = 5 X 0.8 X 6 X 10 /4 X 10 ,
-7 -4
= 6 X 10-3 m = 6 mm

20. (b) A = nb or nb = A/ = constt. Or n 1/b ( n = no. of blocked HPZ),

On decreasing b, n increases, hence intensity decreases.

21. (c) d = 1.22 D /a = 1.22 X 50 x 5 X 10-5/0.2 = 0.01525 cm

22. (d) Resolving power: R = a/1.22 1/, or R1/R2 = 2/1 = 5000/4000 = 5 : 4

23. (a) 24. (c) 25. (d) 26. (A) p, s (B) q (C) t (d) r, s, t
