  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Resolving power of telescope increases when
    Solution
    Resolving power of telescope  RP$$=\dfrac{a}{1.22 \lambda}$$
    where $$a$$ is the diameter of objective lens and $$\lambda$$ is the wavelength of light.
    $$\implies$$ RP $$\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$$
    Thus resolving power of telescope increases when wavelength of light is decreased.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    In an electron microscope if the potential is increased from $$20$$kV to $$80$$kV, the resolving power R of the microscope will become :
    Solution
    (b) Resolving power $$\propto \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}$$ and $$\propto \sqrt{v}$$
    $$\therefore R.P\propto \sqrt{v}$$
    $$\Rightarrow (R.P)_2=(R.P)_1\times \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{80kV}{20kV}}$$
    $$=2(R.P)_1$$.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    The wavelength of light observed on the earth from a moving star is found to decrease by $$0.05$$%. Relative to earth the star is
    Solution
    By using the relation $$\cfrac { \Delta \lambda  }{ \lambda  } =\cfrac { a }{ c } ,a=c\times \cfrac { \Delta \lambda  }{ \lambda  } $$
    $$=3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }\times \cfrac { 0.05 }{ 1000 } =1.5\times { 10 }^{ 5 }m/s$$
    Also decrease in wavelength means the star is moving closer to the earth.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Two plane wavefronts of light, one incident on a thin convex lens and another on the refracting face of a thin prism. After refraction at them, the emerging wavefronts respectively become
    Solution
    As the wave hits the lens it is the centre of the wave that meets the glass first and so this part of the wave is slowed down first (light waves move slower in glass than they do in air). This means that the outer portions of the wave 'catch up' so increasing the curvature to form a converging beam.

    As the wave leaves the lens the outer portions move into the air first and so speed up first. This means that the outer portions move off more rapidly first and so the curvature of the wave is further increased so converging the light more strongly.

    Hence, the emerging wavefront is spherical wavefront.

    As the wave hits the prism, it is the lower half of the wave that meets the glass first and so, this part of the wave is slowed down first. This means that the upper part is moving fast and thus, the wavefront bends as it enters the prism and so, we get a plane wavefront which is slanted. 

    Hence, the emerging wavefront is plane wavefront. 
    Therefore, the answer is OPTION C.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    A double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength 500 nm. A thin film of thickness 2 pm and refractive index 1.5 is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of the central maximum will :
    Solution
    In Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE) be the position of central bright fringe on the screen in absence of any film, because the $$S_1O =S_2O$$.
    When we introduce a film of thickness t and refractive index p, an additional path difference equal to $$(\mu t-t)=(\mu-1)t$$ is introduced. The optical path of upper bean becomes longer. For path difference on screen to be zero, path from lower slit $$S_2$$ should also be more. Thus, central bright fringe wire be located some what at O' as $$S_2O' > S_2O$$.
    $$\therefore$$ The fringe pattern shifts upwards.
    Now as a change in path difference of $$\lambda$$ corresponds to a change in position on the screen by $$\beta=\frac {D}{d} \lambda$$
    Change in optical path difference $$\Delta y = (\mu - 1)t \times \frac {D}{d}$$
    $$\Delta y= (1.5-1) ( 2\times 10^{-6}) \frac {D}{d}$$
    $$\Delta y=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \frac {D}{d}=\frac {D}{d}\times 10^{-6} \, m$$
    Fringe width $$=\frac {D}{d}\lambda =\frac {D}{d}\times 100 \times 10^{-9}m=\beta $$
    Clearly, $$\frac{\Delta y}{\beta}=\frac{\frac {D}{d}\times 10^{-6}}{\frac {D}{d}\times 500 \times 10^{-9}}=2$$
    $$= \frac{10^{-6}}{500 \times 10^{-9}}=\frac{10^{-6}\times 10^9}{500}=\frac{10^3}{500}$$
    $$\therefore \Delta y= 2 \beta$$
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    In Young's double slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude A and wavelength $$\lambda$$. In another experiment with the same set up the two slits are same of equal amplitude of wavelength $$\lambda$$ but are incoherent. The ratio of intensity of light at the mid point of the screen in the first to the second case is?
    Solution
    When sources are coherent,  interference will take place and the intensity at mid - point of the screen will be $$ (a+a)^{2} = 4A^{2}$$. In case of incoherent sources, no interferencer will taake places and the intensity at mid - point will be $$A^{2}+A^{2}=2A$$. Hence the required ratio wil be $$2 : 1 $$
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    In an ideal double-slit experiment, when a glass-plate $$(\mu = 1.5)$$ of thickness t is introduced in the path of one the interfering beams (wavelength $$\lambda$$), the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The minimum thickness of the glass-plate is :
    Solution
    According to the given condition,
    $$(\mu -1)t=n\lambda$$ for minimum $$t, n=1$$
    So,                $$(\mu -1)t_{min}=\lambda$$
                         $$t_{min}=\dfrac{\lambda}{\mu -1}$$
                         $$t_{min}=\dfrac{\lambda}{1.5-1}=2\lambda$$
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The resolving power of a microscope is
    Solution
    Resolving power of a microscope $$=\dfrac { 2\mu \sin { \theta  }  }{ 1.22\lambda  } $$
    i.e., resolving power of a microscope is directly proportional to numerical aperture.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    In Doppler Effect when the source is moving towards a observer at rest, the correct equation is:
    Solution
    Source moving towards observer:
    $$f'=f\left(\dfrac {v_{wave}}{v_{wave}-v_s}\right)$$
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The maximum numbers of possible interference maxima for slit separation equal to twice the wavelength in Young's double slit experiment is?
    Solution
    The condition of interference maxima is
    $$d\sin\theta =n\lambda$$
    $$\sin\theta =\displaystyle\frac{n\lambda}{d}$$
    Given, $$d=2\lambda$$
    $$\sin\theta =\displaystyle\frac{n\lambda}{2\lambda}=n/2$$
    The magnitude of $$\sin\theta$$ lies between $$0$$ and $$1$$
    When $$n=0, \sin \theta =0\Rightarrow \theta =0$$
    When $$n=1, \sin\theta =1/2\Rightarrow \theta =30^o$$
    When $$n=2, \sin\theta =1\Rightarrow \theta =90^o$$
    Thus, there is central maximum $$(\theta =0^o)$$, on other side of it maxima lie at $$\theta =30^o$$ and $$\theta =90^o$$, so maximum number of possible interference maxima is $$5$$.
