Describe Young's double-slit interference experiment and derive conditions for occurrence of dark and bright fringes on the screen. Define fringe width and derive a formula for it.

What are the conditions for obtaining a good interference pattern? Give reasons.

What are the two methods for obtaining coherent sources in the laboratory?

The figure shows the V-T diagram for one cycle of a hypothetical heat engine which uses the ideal gas. Draw the p-V diagram diagram of the system.

A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (λ = 589 nm) that are 0.20° apart. What is the angular fringe separation if the entire arrangement is immersed in water (n = 1.33)?

The intensity of the light coming from one of the slits in Young's experiment is twice the intensity of the light coming from the other slit. What will be the approximate ratio of the intensities of the bright and dark fringes in the resulting interference pattern?

State the laws of vibrating strings

Explain how vibrating strings can be verified using a sonometer.

Two sound waves travel at a speed of 330 m/s. If their frequencies are also identical and are equal to 540 Hz, what will be the phase difference between the waves at points 3.5 m from one source and 3 m from the other if the sources are in phase?

Two wires of the same material and the same cross-section are stretched on a sonometer. One wire is loaded with 1.5 kg and another is loaded with 6 kg. The vibrating length of the first wire is 60 cm and its fundamental frequency of vibration is the same as that of the second wire. Calculate the vibrating length of the other wire.

A set of 8 tuning forks is arranged in a series of increasing order of frequencies. Each fork gives 4 beats per second with the next one and the frequency of last fork is twice that of the first. Calculate the frequencies of the first and the last fork.

A sonometer wire is stretched by the tension of 40 N. It vibrates in unison with a tuning fork of frequency 384 Hz. How many numbers of beats get produced in two seconds if the tension in the wire is decreased by 1.24 N?

What are beats?

State any four applications of beats.

Two wires of the same material and same cross-section are stretched on a sonometer. One wire is loaded with 1 kg and another is loaded with 9 kg. The vibrating length of the first wire is 60 cm and its fundamental frequency of vibration is the same as that of the second wire. Calculate the vibrating length of the other wire. 

A stretched sonometer wire is in unison with a tuning fork. When the length is increased by 4%, the number of beats heard per second is 6. Find the frequency of the fork.

Explain the production of beats and deduce analytically the expression for beats frequency.

Two coherent sources whose intensity ratio is 25:1 produce interference fringes. Calculate the ratio of amplitudes of light waves coming from them.

Why two light sources must be of equal intensity to obtain a well-defined interference pattern?

Draw a neat labelled ray diagram of the Fresnel Biprism experiment showing the region of interference.
