    What happens if one of the slits, say S1 in Young's double , slit experiment-is covered with a glass plate which absorbs half the intensity of light from it?

  • The bright fringes become less-bright and the dark fringes have a finite light intensity
  • The bright fringes become brighter and the dark fringes become darker
  • The fringe width decreases
  • No fringes will be observed
  • 2. 
    What happens to the interference pattern the two slits S1 and S2 in Young's double experiment are illuminated by two independent but identical sources?

  • The intensity of the bright fringes doubled
  • The intensity of the bright fringes becomes four times
  • Two sets of interference fringes overlap
  • No interference pattern is observed
  • 3. 
    What is the reason for your answer to the above question?

  • The two sources do not emit light of the same wavelength
  • The two sources emit waves which travel with different speeds
  • The two sources emit light waves of different amplitudes
  • There is not constant phase difference between the waves emitted by the two sources
  • 4. 
    A single slit diffraction pattern is obtained using a beam of red light What happened the red light is replaced by the blue light?

  • There is no change in diffraction pattern
  • Diffraction fringes become narrower and crowded
  • Diffraction fringes become broader and farther apart
  • The diffraction pattern disappear
  • 5. 
    When a polaroid is rotated, the intensity of light varies but never reduces to zero. It shows that the incident light is:

  • unpolarised
  • completely plane polarised
  • partially plane polarised
  • None of the above
  • 6. 
    When a polaroid is rotated, the intensity of light does not vary. The incident light may be:

  • unpolarised
  • completely polarised
  • partially plane polarised
  • None of the above
  • 7. 
    In Young's double slit experiment, a maximum is obtained when the path difference between the interfering waves is (n ∈ l):

  • n \(\frac{λ}{2}\)
  • (2n + 1) \(\frac{λ}{2}\)
  • (2n - 1) \(\frac{λ}{4}\)
  • 8. 
    For sustained interference, we need two sources which emit radiations :

  • of the same intensity
  • of the same amplitude
  • having a constant phase difference
  • None of these
  • 9. 
    Two sources of light are said to be coherent when both give out light waves of the same:

  • amplitude and phase
  • intensity and wavelength
  • speed
  • wavelength and a constant phase difference
  • 10. 
    The intensity of light emerging from the two slits, in Young's experiment is in the ratio 1 : 4. The ratio of,the intensity of the minimum to that of the consecutive maximum will be:

  • 1 : 4
  • 1 : 9
  • 1 : 16
  • 2 : 3
