प्रश्न
Can the interference pattern be produced by two independent monochromatic sources of light? Explain.

उत्तर
Because for interference pattern the sources of light must be
(i) Monochromatic
(ii) Coherent
If there will be two independent sources it will not be coherent.

When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency.
State the essential conditions for diffraction of light ?
Monochromatic light of frequency 5.0 × 1014 Hz is produced by a laser. The power emitted is 3.0 × 10–3 W. Estimate the number of photons emitted per second on an average by the source ?
If a monochromatic source of light is replaced by white light, what change would you observe in the diffraction pattern?
The following figure shows three equidistant slits being illuminated by a monochromatic parallel beam of light. Let \[B P_0 - A P_0 = \lambda/3\text{ and }D > > \lambda.\] (a) Show that in this case \[d = \sqrt{2\lambda D/3}.\] (b) Show that the intensity at P0 is three times the intensity due to any of the three slits individually.
Consider the situation shown in the figure. The two slits S1 and S2 placed symmetrically around the central line are illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength λ. The separation between the slits is d. The light transmitted by the slits falls on a screen ∑1placed at a distance D from the slits. The slit S3 is at the central line and the slit S4 is at a distance z from S3. Another screen ∑2 is placed a further distance D away from ∑1.Find the ratio of the maximum to minimum intensity observed on ∑2 if z is equal to
(a) \[z = \frac{\lambda D}{2d}\]
(b) \[\frac{\lambda D}{d}\]
(c) \[\frac{\lambda D}{4d}\]
State with reason, how the linear width of the central maximum will be affected if
(i) monochromatic yellow light is replaced with red light, and
(ii) distance between the slit and the screen is increased.
Answer the following question.
In the diffraction due to a single slit experiment, the aperture of the slit is 3 mm. If monochromatic light of wavelength 620 nm is incident normally on the slit, calculate the separation between the first order minima and the 3rd order maxima on one side of the screen. The distance between the slit and the screen is 1.5 m.
Using the monochromatic light of the wavelength in the experimental set-up of the diffraction pattern as well as in the interference pattern where the slit separation is 1 mm, 10 interference fringes are found to be within the central maximum of the diffraction pattern. Determine the width of the single slit, if the screen is kept at the same distance from the slit in the two cases.
The Figure below shows a ray of monochromatic light LM incident on the first surface AB of a regular (equilateral) glass prism ABC. The emergent ray grazes the adjacent surface AC. Calculate the angle of incidence. (Refractive Index of glass = 1.5)
