    • (c) the wavefront is parabolic.
    • (d) the intensity at the wavefront does not depend on the distance.

Very Short Answer Type Questions

  2. Consider a point at the focal point of a convergent lens. Another convergent lens of short focal length is placed on the other side. What is the nature of the wavefronts emerging from the final image?
  3. What is the shape of the wavefront on earth for sunlight?
  4. Why is the diffraction of sound waves more evident in daily experience than that of light wave?
  5. The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of φ = 5.8×10–4 rad and a typical photo printer prints a minimum of 300 dpi (dots per inch, 1 inch = 2.54 cm). At what minimal distance z should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots.
  6. A polaroid (I) is placed in front of a monochromatic source. Another polaroid (II) is placed in front of this polaroid (I) and rotated till no light passes. A third polaroid (III) is now placed in between (I) and (II). In this case, will light emerge from (II). Explain.

Short Answer Type Questions

  1. Can reflection result in plane polarised light if the light is incident on the interface from the side with higher refractive index?
  2. For the same objective, find the ratio of the least separation between two points to be distinguished by a microscope for light of 5000 Å and electrons accelerated through 100V used as the illuminating substance.

    Wave Optics

Long Answer Type Questions

  1. Figure 10.5 shown a two slit arrangement with a source which emits unpolarised light. P is a polariser with axis whose direction is not given. If I0 is the intensity of the principal maxima when no polariser is present, calculate in the present case, the intensity of the principal maxima as well as of the first minima.
    Wave Optics
  2. Wave Optics
    AC = CO = D, S1C = S2C = d << D
    A small transparent slab containing material of μ = 1.5 is placed along AS2 (Fig.10.6). What will be the distance from O of the principal maxima and of the first minima on either side of the principal maxima obtained in the absence of the glass slab. .
  3. Four identical monochromatic sources A,B,C,D as shown in the (Fig.10.7) produce waves of the same wavelength λ and are coherent. Two receiver R1 and R2 are at great but equal distances from B.
    (i) Which of the two receivers picks up the larger signal?
    (ii) Which of the two receivers picks up the larger signal when B is turned off?
    (iii) Which of the two receivers picks up the larger signal when D is turned off?
    (iv) Which of the two receivers can distinguish which of the sources B or D has been turned off?
    Wave Optics
  4. The optical properties of a medium are governed by the relative permittivity ( εr) and relative permeability (μr). The refractive index is defined as √μr εr. For ordinary material εr > 0 and μr > 0 and the positive sign is taken for the square root. In 1964, a Russian scientist V. Veselago postulated the existence of material with εr < 0 and μr < 0. Since then such ‘metamaterials’ have been produced in the laboratories and their optical properties studied. For such materials n = – √μr εr. As light enters a medium of such refractive index the phases travel away from the direction of propagation.
    (i) According to the description above show that if rays of light enter such a medium from air (refractive index =1) at an angle θ in 2nd quadrant, them the refracted beam is in the 3rd quadrant.
    (ii) Prove that Snell’s law holds for such a medium.
  5. To ensure almost 100 per cent transmissivity, photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediated between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). A typically used dielectric film is MgF2 (n = 1.38). What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum (5500 Å) there is maximum transmission.
