Test: Waves - Question 3

The path difference between two waves 
y1= A1 sin wt and y2= A2 cos (wt + f) will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 3

y1= A1 sin wt
y2= A2 cos (wt + f)
Now, y2 = A2 sin (wt + f + pi/2)
So, phase difference = f + pi/2
Path Difference = (λ/2pi)(f + pi/2)
Hence B.

Test: Waves - Question 4

The resultant amplitude in interference with two coherent source depends upon _

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 4

Two sources are said to be coherent if there always exists a constant phase difference between the waves emitted by these sources. But when the sources are coherent, then the resultant intensity of light at a point will remain constant and so interference fringes will remain stationary.

Test: Waves - Question 5

The necessary condition for phenomenon of interference to occur is

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 5

The necessary condition for phenomenon of interference to occur are:
1. There should be two coherent sources.
2. The frequency and amplitude of both the waves should be same.
3. The propagation of waves should be simultaneously and in same direction.
These are the conditions, no explanation.

Test: Waves - Question 6

Interference event is observed in

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 6

Interference occurs for both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Interference does not indicate whether light is transverse or longitudinal since interference occurs for both types of waves.

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 8

The phenomenon of interference is based on the principle of superposition.

Test: Waves - Question 9

The equation for two waves obtained by two light sources are as given below :

y1= A1 sin 3wt, y2 = A2 cos (3wt + p/6). What will be the value of phase difference at the time t _

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 9

y1=Asin3 ωt
y2=A2cos(3ωt+p/6)
y2=A2cosd2
y1=A sin(3ωt+p/2- p/2)
   =A sin(p/2+3ωt- p/2)
y1=A cos(3ωt- p/2)  [sin(p/2+θ)=Cosθ]
y1=A1cosd1
d2-d1=(3ωt+p/6)- (3ωt- p/2)
=p/6+p/2=2p/3

Test: Waves - Question 10

Two coherent sources have intensity ratio of 100 : 1, and are used for obtaining the phenomenon of interference. Then the ratio of maximum and minimum intensity will be _

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 10

I1/I2 = W1/W2 = 100/1 = (a1/a2)2
a1/a2 = 10/1
a1 = 10x
a2 = x
Imax/lmin = (a1+a2/a1-a2)2
(10x+x/10x-x)2
(11x/9x)2
(11/9)2
121/81

Test: Waves - Question 11

In coherent sources it is necessary that there

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 11

Two sources are said to be coherent if there always exists a constant phase difference between the waves emitted by these sources. But when the sources are coherent, then the resultant intensity of light at a point will remain constant and so interference fringes will remain stationary.

Test: Waves - Question 12

Two independent monochromatic sodium lamps can not produce interference because

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 12

Two sources of light are said to be coherent if they emit light which always has a constant phase difference between them. It means that the two sources must emit radiations of the same wavelength. The two independent sources cannot be coherent because of the fact that independent sources cannot maintain a constant phase difference between them. For experimental purposes, two virtual sources obtained from a single parent source can act as coherent. In such a case, all the random phase changes occurring in the parent source are repeated in the virtual sources also, thus maintaining a constant phase difference between them. Since the wavelength of light waves is extremely small, the two sources must be narrow and must also be close to each other.
Interference can never be obtained with two independent sources of light, such as two bulbs or two candles, due to the fact that any two independent beams of light are always incoherent.
 

Test: Waves - Question 13

Figure, shows wave fronts in still water, moving in the direction of the arrow towards the interface PQ between a shallow region and a deep (denser) region. Which of the lines shown may represent one of the wave fronts in the deep region ?

               

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 13

The sole reason is 'refraction' in a single word. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction, or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. Water waves travel fastest when the medium is the deepest. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. But here it is traveling from shallow water to deep water, then the waves bend in the opposite direction.

Test: Waves - Question 14

Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I and 4I are superposed. The maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are:

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 14

Test: Waves - Question 15

When light is refracted into a denser medium,

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 15

Frequency only depends on the source, i.e. frequency changes only when source changes. So, if light ray travels from one medium to another there will be no change in the frequency because the ray still originates from the same source. For any wave,
Lf = c
where, f = frequency, L = wavelength and c = speed of sound
When light travels from one medium to another there will be a change in its velocity. As a result there will be change in its wavelength since there must be no change in the frequency.

Test: Waves - Question 16

Test: Waves - Question 24

In a YDSE, the central bright fringe can be identified.

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 24

If we use white light instead of monochromatic light then we would observe the formation of bright colored fringes forming an interference patterns which resemble the seven colors of a VIBGYOR. Here the white light would split into its fundamental colors and for the central fringe the colors won’t split.

Test: Waves - Question 25

In Young's double slit experiment, the wavelength of red light is 7800 Å and that of blue light is 5200 Å. The value of n for which nth bright band due to red light coincides with (n + 1)th bright band due to blue light, is

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 25

Test: Waves - Question 26

If the Young's double slit experiment is performed with white light, then which of the following is not true

Detailed Solution for Test: Waves - Question 26

The central fringe will be white because all the component color bands will superimpose there. The option (a) is true.
Since the fringes of different wavelengths of light have different fringe-widths, there will not be a completely dark fringe. Option (b) is true.
Since the wavelength of the violet light is nearly half of the red light, the fringe-width of the violet light is half of the red light. Since the central bright violet fringe combines with other fringes to form the white fringe, the next to it will be a minima for violet light. So violet will not be next to the central white fringe. Next will be a very thin band of white light minus violet light which will give a shade of off white. In this way, the components of indigo, blue, green, yellow and orange colors will be withdrawn respectively in the very thin consecutive bands. These will effect in different off white shades which cannot be clearly differentiated from the white band. The first color away from the center will be recognized as red when in these very thin bands yellow + orange + red, orange + red or red remains. Hence the option (d) is true.
