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. |
By Huygen's wave theory of light, we cannot explain the phenomenon of:
1. | Interference |
2. | Diffraction |
3. | Photoelectric effect |
4. | Polarisation |
When the light diverges from a point source, the shape of the wavefront is:
1. Parabolic
2. Plane
3. Spherical
4. Elliptical
(a) | Find the velocity of light in a vacuum. |
(b) | Explain the particle behaviour of light. |
(c) | Find the new position of a wavefront. |
(d) | Explain Snell's law. |
1. | (a) and (b) only |
2. | (b) and (c) only |
3. | (c) and (d) only |
4. | all of the above |
A light wave can travel:
(a) | in vacuum |
(b) | in vacuum only |
(c) | in a material medium |
(d) | in a material medium only |
1. | (a) and (b) only |
2. | (b) and (c) only |
3. | (a) and (c) only |
4. | (c) and (d) only |
The wavefronts of a light wave travelling in vacuum are given by \(x+y+z=c\). The angle made by the direction of propagation of light with the X-axis is:
1. \(0^{\circ}\)
2. \(45^{\circ}\)
3. \(90^{\circ}\)
4. \({\cos^{-1}\left({1}/{\sqrt{3}}\right )}\)
