प्रश्न

When monochromatic light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, explain the following, giving reasons:

(i) Is the frequency of reflected and refracted light same as the frequency of incident light?

(ii) Does the decrease in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by light wave?

उत्तर

(i) The frequency of reflected and refracted light remains same as the frequency of incident light because frequency only depends on the source of light.

(ii) Since the frequency remains same, hence there is no reduction in energy.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 650 nm falls normally on a slit of width 1 : 3 × 10-4 cm and the resulting Fraunhofer diffraction is obtained on a screen. Find the angular width of the central maxima.


Answer the following question.
In the diffraction due to a single slit experiment, the aperture of the slit is 3 mm.

The distance between the slit and the screen is 1.5 m.
