Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 10

In vaccum, λ increases very slightly compared to that in air. As β∝ λ , therefore, width of interference fringe increases slightly.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 11

Separation between slits are (r1=) 16 cm and (r2=) 9 cm.
Actual distance of separation

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 13

Colours appear on a thin soap film and on soapbubbles due to the phenomenon of [1999]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 13

We know that the colours for which the
condition of constructive interference is
satisfied are observed in a given region of the film. The path difference between the light waves reaching the eye changes when the position of the eye is changed. Therefore, colours appear on a thin soap film or soap bubbles due to the phenomenon of interference.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 16

The periodic waves of intensities I1 and I2 pass through a region at the same time in the same direction. The sum of the maximum and minimum intensities is:

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 16

We know that the resultant of two intensities with phase difference of angle a can be represented as, I = I1+ I2 + 2( I1.I2 )1/2. cos a
Thus we get Imax =  I1+ I2 + 2( I1.I2
And Imin =  I1+ I2 - 2( I1.I2
Thus we get the sum =  2( I1+ I2 )

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 17

A lens having focal length f and aperture of diameter d forms an image of intensity I. Aperture of diameter
2/d  in central region of lens is covered by a black paper. Focal length of lens and intensity of image now will be
respectively:

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 17

By covering aperture, focal length does not change. But intensity is reduced by 1/4 times, as aperture diameter d/2 is covered.

∴ New focal length = f and intensity = 3I/4

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 18

In Young’s double slit experiment, the slits are 2 mmapart and are illuminated by photons of twowavelengths λ1 = 12000Å and λ2 = 10000Å. Atwhat minimum distance from the common centralbright fringe on the screen 2 m from the slit will abright fringe from one interference patterncoincide with a bright fringe from the other ?    [NEET 2013]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 18

∴ n1 λ1 = n2λ2
⇒ n1 × 12000 × 10–10 = n2 × 10000 × 10–10
or, n (12000 × 10–10) = (n + 1) (10000 × 10–10)
⇒n = 5

(∵ λ1 = 1200 x 10-10m;  λ2 = 10000 x 10-10m)

(∵ d = 2 mm and D = 2m)
= 5 × 12 × 10–4 m
= 60 × 10–4 m
= 6 × 10–3m = 6 mm

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 19

Angular width, 

[For central maxima n = 1]
Hence, with increase in speed of
electrons angular width of central
maximum decreases.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 20

In Young’s double slit experiment the distancebetween the slits and the screen is doubled. Theseparation between the slits is reduced to half.As a result the fringe width           [NEET Kar. 2013]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 20

Fringe width  

From question D' = 2D and d' = d/2

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 21

A parallel beam of light of wavelength λ is incident normally on a narrow slit. A diffraction pattern is formed on a screen placed perpendicular to the direction of the incident beam. At the second minimum of the diffraction pattern, the phase difference between the rays coming from the two edges of slit is       [NEET Kar. 2013]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Wave Optics - Question 21

Conditions for diffraction minima are
Path diff. Δx = nλ and Phase diff. δφ = 2nπ
Path diff. = nλ = 2λ
Phase diff. = 2nπ = 4π (∵n = 2)
