| 946 | In a diffraction(single slit experiment), the slit is exposed by white light. The fringe surrounding the central fringe is A. Red B. Yellow c. violet D. Green | 12 |
| 947 | To ensure almost 100 per cent transmittivity, 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 ( M g F_{2} ) ( (n=1.38) . ) What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum ( (5500 A) ) there is maximum transmission. A ( cdot 5000 ) a в. 2000 А c. 1000 a D. 3000 , | 12 |
| 948 | When waves of same intensity from two coherent sources reach a point with zero path different the resulting intensity is ( mathrm{K} ). When the above path difference is ( lambda / 4 ) the intensity becomes ( A cdot K ) B. K/2 ( c cdot k / 4 ) D. K/8 | 12 |
| 949 | When an unpolarised light is polarized, then the intensity of light of the polarized wave : A. remains the same B. gets doubled c. gets halved D. depends on the colour of the light. | 12 |
