प्रश्न

Two polaroids ‘A’ and ‘B’ are kept in crossed position. How should a third polaroid ‘C’ be placed between them so that the intensity of polarized light transmitted by polaroid B reduces to 1/8th of the intensity of unpolarized light incident on A?

उत्तर

Let θAC, angle between the transmission axis of Polaroid A and Polaroid C.

θCB, angle between the transmission axis of Polaroid C and Polaroid B.

Then,

θAC + θCB = 180° (As, Polaroid ‘A’ and ‘B’ are kept in crossed position.)

Or, θAC = 180° − θCB ... (1)

Intensity of unpolarized light = I0

I1, I2 and I3 are the intensities of light on passing through the A, B and C polarises respectively.

Now,

`I_1 = 1/2I_0   .....(2)`

`I_2 =I_1cos^2theta_(AC)`

   =`1/2I_0cos^2theta_(AC)`

`= 1/2I_0 cos^2(180° -theta_(CB))`  (from equation (1))

`I_2=1/2I_0sin^2theta_(CB)......... (3)`

and, `I_3 =I_2cos^2theta_(CB)`

`I_3=(1/2I_0sin^2theta_(CB)) cos^2theta_(CB)`

or,`I_3 = 1/2I_0sin_2theta_(CB)cos^2theta_(CB)`

As,given, `I_3=1/8 I_0`

Therefore,`1/8I_0 =1/2I_0 xx 1/4(sin2theta_(CB))^2`

`or,  sin 2 theta_(CB =1)`

`or, 2theta_(CB) =90°`

`or,  theta_(CB) =45°`

Thus, Polaroid ‘C’ must be placed at angle 45° with Polaroid ‘B’.

A transparent paper (refractive index = 1.45) of thickness 0.02 mm is pasted on one of the slits of a Young's double slit experiment which uses monochromatic light of wavelength 620 nm. How many fringes will cross through the centre if the paper is removed?


Two transparent slabs having equal thickness but different refractive indices µ1 and µ2are pasted side by side to form a composite slab. This slab is placed just after the double slit in a Young's experiment so that the light from one slit goes through one material and the light from the other slit goes through the other material. What should be the minimum thickness of the slab so that there is a minimum at the point P0 which is equidistant from the slits?


A double slit S1 − S2 is illuminated by a coherent light of wavelength \[\lambda.\] The slits are separated by a distance d. A plane mirror is placed in front of the double slit at a distance D1 from it and a screen ∑ is placed behind the double slit at a distance D2 from it (see the following figure). The screen ∑ receives only the light reflected by the mirror. Find the fringe-width of the interference pattern on the screen.


The line-width of a bright fringe is sometimes defined as the separation between the points on the two sides of the central line where the intensity falls to half the maximum. Find the line-width of a bright fringe in a Young's double slit experiment in terms of \[\lambda,\] d and D where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits 1 mm apart with a light source (λ = 632.8 nm). The distance between the screen and the slits is 100 cm. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at distance of 1.27 mm from the central bright fringe, then the path difference between the waves, which are reaching this point from the slits is close to :
