What is the intensity of light I behind the screen at the point for which the aperture (a) is equal to the first Fresnel zone; to the internal half of the first zone; (b) was made equal to the first Fresnel zone and then half of it was closed (along the diameter)? 

Ans. (a) When the aperture is equal to the first Fresnel Zone

 The amplitude is Ax and should be compared with the amplitude y when the aperture is very wide. If I0 is the intensity in the second case the intensity in the first case will be 4lo
When the aperture is equal to the internal half of the first zone Suppose Ain and Aout are the amplitudes due to the two halves o f the first Fresnel zone. Ain and Aout differ in phase by Irodov Solutions: Diffraction of Light- 1 | I. E. Irodov Solutions for Physics Class 11 & Class 12 - JEE because only half the Fresnel zone in involved.

Ans. (a) Suppose the disc does not obstruct light at all. Then 

Irodov Solutions: Diffraction of Light- 1 | I. E. Irodov Solutions for Physics Class 11 & Class 12 - JEE

(because the disc covers the first Fresnel zone only).

Q.117. A plane monochromatic light wave falls normally on an opaque screen with a long slit whose shape is shown in Fig. 5.25. Making use of Fig. 5.19, find the ratio of intensities of light at points 1, 2, and 3 located behind the screen at equal distances from it. For point 3 the rounded-off edge of the slit coincides with the boundary line of the first Fresnel zone.

Ans. From the statement of the problem we know that the width of the slit = diameter of the first Fresnel Irodov Solutions: Diffraction of Light- 1 | I. E. Irodov Solutions for Physics Class 11 & Class 12 - JEE where b is the distance of the observation point from the slit

 We calculate the amplitudes by evaluating the integral of problem 5.103 We get

FAQs on Irodov Solutions: Diffraction of Light- 1 - I. E. Irodov Solutions for Physics Class 11 & Class 12 - JEE

1. What is diffraction of light?
Ans. Diffraction of light refers to the bending or spreading of light waves as they pass through an aperture or around obstacles. It is a phenomenon that occurs when light waves encounter an obstacle that has a size similar to or smaller than the wavelength of the light.
2. How does the diffraction of light occur?
Ans. Diffraction of light occurs when a light wave encounters an obstacle or slit that is comparable in size to the wavelength of the light. As the light wave interacts with the obstacle, it bends and spreads out, resulting in the phenomenon of diffraction.
3. What are the properties of diffraction of light?
Ans. The properties of diffraction of light include the bending or spreading of light waves, the formation of interference patterns, and the dependence of the amount of diffraction on the size of the obstacle or slit as well as the wavelength of light.
4. What are some real-life examples of diffraction of light?
Ans. Some real-life examples of diffraction of light include the spreading of light around a door frame, the diffraction grating in optical instruments, the bending of light waves around a corner, and the formation of rainbow colors through the diffraction of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere.
5. How is the diffraction of light related to the study of optics?
Ans. The diffraction of light is an important phenomenon studied in the field of optics. It helps to understand the behavior of light waves when they encounter obstacles or pass through small apertures. Diffraction plays a crucial role in various optical instruments and phenomena, such as microscopes, telescopes, spectroscopy, and the formation of interference patterns.
