Consider a light beam incident from air to a glass slab at Brewster's angle as shown in the figure. A polaroid is placed in the path of the emergent ray at point and rotated about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the polaroid. Then:
1. | for a particular orientation, there shall be darkness as observed through the polaroid. |
2. | the intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall be independent of the rotation. |
3. | the intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall go through a minimum but not zero for two orientations of the polaroid. |
4. | the intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall go through a minimum for four orientations of the polaroid. |
1. | be a fine sharp slit white in colour at the centre |
2. | a bright slit white at the centre diffusing to zero intensities at the edges |
3. | a bright slit white at the centre diffusing to regions of different colours |
4. | only be a diffused slit white in colour |
Consider a ray of light incident from the air onto a slab of glass (refractive index ) of width , at an angle . The phase difference between the ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
In Young's double-slit experiment, the source is white light. One of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case:
1. | there shall be alternate interference patterns of red and blue. |
2. | there shall be an interference pattern for red distinct from that for blue. |
3. | there shall be no interference fringes. |
4. | there shall be an interference pattern for red mixing with one for blue. |
At on the screen, there is a hole and behind is a second slit arrangement with slits and a second screen behind them.
1. | There would be no interference pattern on the second screen but it would be lighted. |
2. | The second screen would be totally dark. |
3. | There would be a single bright point on the second screen. |
4. | There would be a regular two-slit pattern on the second screen. |
