(b) It is given that l2l1=nl2=nl1

  Ratio of intensites is given by

 lmax-lminlmax+lmin=l2+l12_l2-l12l1+l22+l2-l12

          =l2l1+12-l2l1-12l2l1+12+l2l1-12

=n+12-n-12n+12+n-12=2nn+1

 

A linear aperture whose width is 0.02 cm is placed immediately in front of a lens of focal length 60 cm. The aperture is illuminated normally by a parallel beam of wavelength 5×10-5 cm. The distance of the first dark band of the diffraction pattern from the centre of the screen is

Explanation

 

(d) Ist minima is formed at a distance 

                 Y=λDa

For the distance of the first dark band of the diffraction pattern from the centre of the screen is given by position of Ist minima.

 i.e.         Y=λDa

where, λ=wavelength of parallel beams

          D= focal length

          a= width of linear aperture.

The intensity at the maximum in Young's double-slit experiment is the distance between two slits is d=5λ, where λ is the wavelength of light used in the experiment. What will be the intensity in front of one of the slits on the screen placed at a distance D= 10 d?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity at the maxima on the screen is given by (2Io), where Io is the intensity from a single slit. When the distance between the screen and the slits is increased, the intensity from each slit decreases due to the spreading of the wavefront. The intensity from a single slit on the screen is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Therefore, at a distance D = 10d, the intensity from each slit is (Io/10^2) = Io/100, and the total intensity on the screen is (2 * Io/100) = Io/50.

 

In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width a,the first minimum is observed at an angle 30 when light of wavelength 5000 A˙ is incident on the slit. The first secondary maximum is observed is an angle of

Explanation

 

(c) As the first minimum is observed at an angle of 30 in a diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width a. 

i.e.,              n=1, θ=30

 According to bragg's law of diffraction,

                             a sin θ=nλ               a sin 30=1λ       n=1            a=2λ    ...(i) sin 30=12

For Ist secondary maxima

 

       a sin θ1=3λ2         sin  θ1=3λ2a                      ...ii

Substitute value of a from eq. (i) to eq (ii), we get

                    sin θ1=3λ4λ sin θ1=34                θ1=sin-134

 

For a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength diffraction is produced by a single slit whose width 'a' is of the order of the wavelength of the light. If 'D' is the distance of the screen from the slit, the width of the central maxima will be

In a double-slit experiment, the two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed 1 m away. A monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is used. What will be the width of each slit for obtaining ten maxima of double-slit within the central maxima of a single-slit pattern?

Explanation

Given d=1mm=1x10-3m

D=1m λ=500mm=5x10-7 m

As width of central maxima=width of 10 maxima

2Dλ/a=10(λD/d)

=> a=d/5=10-3/5

=0.2x10-3 m

=0.2mm

At the first minimum adjacent to the central maximum of a single slit diffraction pattern, the phase difference between the Huygen's wavelet from the edge of the slit and the wavelet from the midpoint of the slit is

Explanation

At the first minimum adjacent to the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern, the phase difference between the Huygen's wavelet from the edge of the slit and the wavelet from the midpoint of the slit is π radians. This phase difference leads to destructive interference, resulting in the formation of the first minimum.

In the Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screw (where the path difference is λ ) is K. (λ being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is λ /4 will be

Explanation

For net intensity 

I'=4Io cos2 φ/2 (φ=2π/λxλ)


For the first case,


K=4Io cos2 [π] K=4Io ...(i)

For the second case

K'=4Io cos2 (π/2/2) (φ=2π/λxλ/4)

=4Io cos2 (π/2)

K'=2Io ...(ii)

Comparing Eqs. (i)and(ii)

K'=K/2

In Young’s double slit experiment. the slits are 2 mm apart and are illuminated by photons of two wavelengths , λ1= 12000Å and , λ2= 10000Å. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen 2m from the slit will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?

Explanation

(c)

As, λ=hmvλ1vTherefore, as speed of electron increases, de-broglie wavelngth of electron decreases.Angular width of central maxima, wλ1vThen, width of central maxima decreases as speed of electron increases.
