    Wave optics
    M.M:25 Time: 1Hr

    1. How does the fringe width of interference fringes change, when the whole apparatus of Young’s experiment
    is kept in a liquid of refractive index 1.3? (1)

    2. Draw a diagram to show refraction of a plane wave front incident in a convex lens and hence draw the
    refracted wave front. (1)

    3. State one feature by which the phenomenon of interference can be distinguished from that of diffraction.
    A parallel beam of light of wavelength 600 nm is incident normally on a slit of width ‘a’. If the distance between
    the slits and the screen is 0.8 m and the distance of 2nd order maximum from the centre of the screen is 15mm,
    calculate the width of the slit. (2)

    4. In Young’s double slit experiment using mono-chromatic light of wavelength X, the intensity of light at a point
    on the screen where path difference is X, is K units. Find out the intensity of light at a point where path
    difference is 2λ/3. (2)

    5. Laser light of wavelength 640 nm incident on a pair of slits produces an interference pattern in which the
    bright fringes are separated by 7.2 mm. Calculate the wavelength of another source of light which produces
    interference fringes separated by 8.1 mm using same arrangement. Also find the minimum value of the order
    ‘n’ of bright fringe of shorter wavelength which coincides with that of the longer wavelength. (2)

    6. Draw the intensity pattern for single slit diffraction and double slit interference. Hence, state two differences
    between interference and diffraction patterns. (3)

    7. How is a wavefront defined? Using Huygen’s construction draw a figure showing the propagation of a plane
    wave refracting at a plane surface separating two media. Hence verify Snell’s law of refraction. (3)

    8. In Young’s double slit experiment, monochromatic light of wavelength 630 nm illuminates the pair of slits and
    produces an interference pattern in which two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 8.1 mm. Another
    source of monochromatic light produces the interference pattern in which the two consecutive bright fringes are
    separated by 7.2 mm. Find the wavelength of light from the second source. What is the effect on the
    interference fringes if the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light? (3)

    9. (a) In a single slit diffraction experiment, a slit of width ‘d’ is illuminated by red light of wavelength 650 nm.
    For what value of ‘d’ will
    (i) the first minimum fall at an angle of diffraction of 30°, and
    (ii) the first maximum fall at an angle of diffraction of 30°?
    (b) Why does the intensity of the secondary maximum become less as compared to the central maximum? (3)

    10. In Young’s double slit experiment, the two slits 0. 15 mm apart are illuminated by monochromatic light of
    wavelength 450 nm. The screen is 1.0 m away from the slits.
    (a) Find the distance of the second
    (i) bright fringe,
    (ii) dark fringe from the central maximum.
    (b) How will the fringe pattern change if the screen is moved away from the slits?
    (c) why constructive and destructive interference always occur together? (5)
