Light travels faster in the air than in glass. This is in accordance with:
1. | the wave theory of light. |
2. | the corpuscular theory of light. |
3. | neither \((1)\) nor \((2)\) |
4. | both \((1)\) and \((2)\) |
Soap bubble appears coloured due to the phenomenon of:
1. Interference
2. Diffraction
3. Dispersion
4. Reflection
When the light diverges from a point source, the shape of the wavefront is:
1. Parabolic.
2. Plane.
3. Spherical.
4. Elliptical.
By Huygen's wave theory of light, we cannot explain the phenomenon of:
1. | Interference |
2. | Diffraction |
3. | Photoelectric effect |
4. | Polarisation |
Huygens' wave theory allows us to know the:
1. | wavelength of the wave. |
2. | velocity of the wave. |
3. | amplitude of the wave. |
4. | propagation of the wavefront. |
Huygen's principle for secondary wavelets may be used to:
1. | explain Snell's law. |
2. | find the velocity of light in vacuum. |
3. | find a new position of a wavefront. |
4. | both (1) & (3) are correct. |
1. | \(\dfrac{9}{4}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{121}{49}\) |
3. | \(\dfrac{49}{121}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{4}{9}\) |
If an interference pattern has maximum and minimum intensities in a \(36:1\) ratio, then what will be
the ratio of their amplitudes?
1. \(5:7\)
2. \(7:4\)
3. \(4:7\)
4. \(7:5\)
Two superposing waves are represented by the following equations: \(y_1=5 \sin 2 \pi(10{t}-0.1 {x}), {y}_2=10 \sin 2 \pi(10{t}-0.1 {x}).\)
The ratio of intensities \(\dfrac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}\) will be:
1. \(1\)
2. \(9\)
3. \(4\)
4. \(16\)
