Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 1

What changes are observed in a diffraction pattern if the whole apparatus is immersed in water? 

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 1

Explanation: As the whole apparatus is now immersed in water, the wavelength of the light will change. λ’= λ / μ
Therefore, as the refractive index of water is greater than the air, the wavelength of light will decrease. Width of central maxima = 2λ / a
Therefore, as the wavelength decreases, the width of the central maxima decreases.

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 2

How does the width W of the central maximum formed from diffraction through a circular aperture (pupil) change with aperture size (b) for a fixed distance away from the aperture?

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 2

Width of central maxima is inversely proportional to slit width or aperture size .

The correct answer is: W decreases as b increases

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 3

A grating is able to resolve two very close spectral lines of wavelength 5890 and 5896  in its first order diffraction. The resolving power of the grating is :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 3

The two lines will be seen distinctly if they are resolved by grating.
Resolving power

∴ The correct option is close to 1000.
The correct answer is: close to 1000

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 4

The diffraction pattern due to circular aperture consists of :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 4

The correct answer is: a bright central disc surrounded by alternate dark and bright concentric rings

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 5

The distance between the maxima of two wavelengths seen on a screen, after passing through a diffraction grating :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 5

dsin(theta) = m (lambda)

If distance between the maximas increases it means sin(theta) will increase so to normalize that d should decrease. It means that ‘d’ should decrease which in turn means that the number of slits per cm will increase.

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 6

According to Rayleigh’s criterion of resolution, the two spectral lines of equal intensity are just resolved when the central maximum of the diffraction pattern due to one falls :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 6

The correct answer is: on the first minimum of the diffraction pattern of other

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 7

Dispersive power of a grating can be defined as :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 7

The correct answer is: Increase of angle of diffraction w.r.t. change in wavelength

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 8

The resolving power of a grating :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 8

The correct answer is: increases as the total number of lines on the grating increases

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 9

Which one of the following plane transmission grating of width W, and number of lines per cm, L, will have the maximum resolving power in the first order?

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 9

Resolving power = nN, where n is order of diffraction and N is the total number of ruling on grating.
N = WL
∴ R.P  = nWL

where n = 1
R.P= 1 x 5000 = 5000
R.P= 1.5 x 4000 = 6000
R.P= 2 x 2400 = 4800
R.P= 3 x 1500 = 4500
The correct answer is: W = 1.5 cm, L = 4000

Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 10

If N is the total number of rulings on the grating, m is the order of spectrum and A is the wavelength of light used, then resolving power of grating is given by :

Detailed Solution for Diffraction MCQ Level - 1 - Question 10

The correct answer is: mN
