Light waves are: |
Transverse wave
Longitudinal wave
Compressional wave
None of them
|
2 |
Light has: |
Wave nature
Particle nature
Dual nature
None of these
|
3 |
In order to get interference using two light rays |
The sources should be monochromatic and coherent
The sources should have the same frequency
Superposition should be linear
All of these
|
4 |
The superposition of the two waves of same frequency and amplitude travelling in the same direction gives to an effect called |
Diffraction
Interference
Polarization
Dispersion
|
5 |
The locus of all points in a medium having same phase of vibration is called |
Crest
Trough
Wavelength
Wave-front
|
6 |
According to Huygen's principle |
light travels in straight line
Light is a transvers wave
Light has dual nature
All points on the primary wave-front are the sources of secondary wavelets
|
7 |
The cause of mirage observed in deserts in bright sunlight is due to |
Refraction of light
Reflection of light
Scattering of light
Total internal reflection of light
|
8 |
The velocity of light in vacuum can be changed by changing |
Frequency
Amplitude
Wavelength
None of these
|
9 |
The image of the tip of a needle is never sharp because of |
Polarization of light
Interference of light
Diffraction of light
Reflection of light
|
10 |
Which one the following gives three regions of electromagnetic spectrum in order of increasing wavelength? |
Gamma rays, micro waves, visible light
Radio waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays
Ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, micro waves
Visible light, gamma rays, radio waves
|
11 |
Huygen's theory cannot explain |
Diffraction
Interference
Polarization
Photoelectric effect
|
12 |
The contrast in the fringes in an interference pattern depends upon |
Fringe width
Relative difference intensities of the two sources
Distance between the slits
Wavelength
|
13 |
If yellow light emitted by sodium lamp in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by blue light of the same intensity |
Fringe width will decrease
Fringe width will increase
Fringe width will remain unchanged
Fringe will become less intense
|
14 |
Which one of the following phenomenon cannot be explained on the bases of Huygen's theory |
Refraction
Reflection
Diffraction
Formation of spectrum
|
15 |
Light appears to travel in straight line because |
It is not absorbed by the atmosphere
It is refracted by the atmosphere
Its wavelength is very small
Its velocity is very large
