The contrast in the fringes in any interference pattern depends on |
Fringe width
Intensity ratio of the sources
Distance between the slits
Wavelength
|
2 |
If yellow light emitted by sodium lamp in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by monochromatic blue light of the same intensity |
Fringe width will decrease
Fringe width will increase
The fringe width will remain unchanged
Fringes will become less intense
|
3 |
Which one of the following phenomena is not explained by Huygen's construction of wavefront? |
Refraction
Reflection
Diffraction
Origin of spectra
|
4 |
Light appears to travel in straight lines since |
It is not absorbed by the atmosphere
It is reflected by the atmosphere
Its wavelength is very small
Its velocity is very large
|
5 |
The twinkling of stars is due to |
The fact that stars do not emit light continuously
The refractive index of the earth's atmosphere fluctuate
Intermittent absorption of star light by its own atmosphere
None of them
|
6 |
A prism splits a beam of white light into its seven constituent colors this is so because |
Phase of different colors is different
Amplitude of different colors is different
Energy of different colors is different
Velocity of different colors is different
|
7 |
A sun rise or sun set, the sun looks reddish because. |
The sun is coldest at these times
Of the effects of reflection and refraction
The sun is hottest at these times
Of the scattering of light
|
8 |
One cannot see through fog because |
Fog absorbs light
The refractive index of fog is infinity
Light suffers total reflection at the droplet in a fog
Light is scattered by the droplets in fog
