Two slits are made one millimetre apart and the screen is placed one metre away. What should the width of each slit be to obtain \(10\) maxima of the double-slit pattern within the central maximum of the single-slit pattern?
1. \(2~\text{mm}\)
2. \(0.2~\text{mm}\)
3. \(0.02~\text{mm}\)
4. \(20~\text{mm}\)

Two slits are made one millimetre apart and the screen is placed one meter away. What is the fringe separation when blue-green light of wavelength \(500\) nm is used? 
1. \(0.5\) mm
2. \(0.3\) mm
3. \(0.05\) mm
4. \(0.03\) mm

Light is:

Which of the following properties show that light is a transverse wave?
1. Reflection
2. Interference
3. Diffraction
4. Polarization

Which of the following sources gives the best monochromatic light?
1. a candle
2. a bulb
3. a mercury tube
4. a laser

The wavefronts of light coming from a distant source of unknown shape are nearly:
1. plane
2. elliptical
3. cylindrical
4. spherical

Two sources are called coherent if they produce waves:

Two coherent sources of different intensities send waves which interfere. The ratio of maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is \(25.\) The intensities of the sources are in the ratio:
1. \(25:1\)
2. \(5:1\)
3. \(9:4\)
4. \(625:1\)

The slits in a Young's double-slit experiment have equal width and the source is placed symmetrically with respect to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is \(I_0.\) If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be:
1. \(I_0\)
2. \(I_0/4\)
3. \(I_0/2\)
4. \(4I_0\)
