    Question 1) In an interference experiment the ratio of the amplitude of coherent waves is (a1/a2) = ⅓.

    The
    ratio of maximum and minimum intensities of fringes will be:

    (A) 2

    (B) 18

    (C) 4

    (D) 9

    Answer: (C) 4

    Solution:

    Given the amplitude ratio of waves is (a1/a2) = (3/1)

    So,

    Question 2) Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. After interference,
    the ratio of the maximum intensity to the intensity is 16. The intensity of the waves are in the ratio:

    (A) 16: 9

    (B) 25: 9

    (C) 4: 1

    (D) 5: 3

    Answer: (B) 25: 9

    Solution:

    As we know,

    Imax/Imin = 16
    ⇒ A max/Amin = 4

    ⇒ (A1+A2)/(A1 - A 2) = 4/1

    Using componendo and dividendo

    A1/A2 = 5/3

    ⇒ I1/I2 = (5/3)2 = 25/9

    Question 3) On a hot summer night, the refractive index of air is smallest near the ground and increases
    with a height from the ground. When a light beam is directed horizontally, Huygen’s principle leads us to
    conclude that as it travels, the light beam:

    (A) bends downwards

    (B) bends upwards

    (C) becomes narrower

    (D) goes horizontally without any deflection

    Answer: (B) bends upwards

    Solution:

    Question 4) A thin slice is cut out of a glass cylinder along a plane parallel to its axis. The slice is placed on
    a flat glass plate as shown in the figure. The observed interference fringes from this combination shall be
    (A) Straight

    (B) Circular

    (C) Equally speed

    (D) having fringe spacing which increases as we go outwards

    Answer: (A) Straight

    Solution:

    Locus of equal path difference are lines running parallel to the axis of the cylinder. Hence straight interference
    fringes will be observed

    Question 5) Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I and 4I are superposed. The maximum
    and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are

    (A) 5I and I

    (B) 5I and 3I

    (C) 9I and I

    (D) 9I and 3I

    Answer: (C) 9I and I

    Solution:

    Let I1 = I

    I2 = 4I
    Imax = (√I1 + √I2)2 = (√I + √4I)2 = (3√I)2 = 9I

    and Imin = (√I1 -√I2)2 = (√I -√4I)2 = I

    Question 6) In Young's double slit experiment, light of 500 nm is used to produce an interference pattern.
    When the distance between the slits is 0.05 mm, the angular width (in degree) of the fringes formed on the
    distance screen is close to:

    (A) 0.170

    (B) 0.570

    (C) 1.70

    (D) 0.070

    Answer: (B) 0.570

    Solution:

    Given,

    Wavelength, λ = 500 nm

    Distance between the slits, d = 0.05 mm

    The angular width of the fringe formed,

    θ = λ/d

    = (500 x 10-9)/(0.05 x 10-3) = 0.01 rad = 0.570

    Question 7) In a Young’s double slit experiment, 16 fringes are observed in a certain segment of the screen
    when light of wavelength 700 nm is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to 400 nm, the number of
    fringes observed in the same segment of the screen would be:

    (A) 24

    (B) 30

    (C) 18

    (D) 28

    Answer: (D) 28

    Solution:

    Let n1 fringes are visible with light of wavelength λ1 and n2 with light of wavelength λ1. Then
    ⇒ n2 = (λ1/λ2) x n1

    = (700/400) x 16 = 28

    Question 8) In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation between the slits is 0.15 mm. In the
    experiment, a source of light of wavelength 589 nm is used and the interference pattern is observed on a
    screen kept 1.5 m away. The separation between the successive bright fringes on the screen is

    (A) 6.9 mm

    (B) 3.9 mm

    (C) 5.9 mm

    (D) 4.9 mm

    Answer: (C) 5.9 mm

    Solution:

    Fringe width = (D/d) λ = (1.5/0.15 x 10-3) x 589 x 10-9 m

    ≈ 5.9 mm

    Question 9) In a double-slit experiment, when a thin film of thickness t having a refractive index μ is
    introduced in front of one of the slits, the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe
    width. The value of t is (≈ is the wavelength of the light used)

    (A) 2λ/(µ - 1)

    (B) λ/2(µ - 1)

    (C) λ/(µ - 1)

    (D) λ/(2µ - 1)

    Answer: (C) λ/(µ - 1)

    Solution:

    Therefore, t = λ/(µ - 1)

    Question 10) In a Young’s double slit experiment, the slits are placed 0.320 mm apart. Light of wavelength
    λ = 500 nm is incident on the slits. The total number of bright fringes that are observed in the angular
    range -300 ≤ θ ≤ 300

    (A) 640

    (B) 320

    (C) 321

    (D) 641

    Answer: (D) 641

    Solution:

    For ‘n’ number of maximas

    dsinθ = nλ

    0.32 x 10-3 sin 300 = n x 500 x 10-9

    n = (0.32 x 10-3/500 x 10-9) x (½) = 320

    Hence total number of maximas observed in angular range -300≤θ≤300

    = 320 + 1 + 320 = 641
