Wave Optics · Question 5

An unpolarised light beam strikes a glass surface at Brewster's angle. Then

1. The reflected light will be partially polarised.
2. The refracted light will be completely polarised.
3. Both the reflected and refracted light will be completely polarised.
4. The reflected light will be completely polarised but the refracted light will be partially polarised.

Two slits in Young's double slit experiment are 1.5 mm apart and the screen is placed at a distance of 1 m from the slits. If the wavelength of light used is 600 10-9 m then the fringe separation is

2. 9 10-8 m
3. 4 10-7 m
4. 4 10-4 m

Interference pattern can be observed due to superposition of the following waves: Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

1. B and C
2. B and D
3. A and C
4. A and B

A beam of unpolarized light of intensity I0 is passed through a polaroid A, then through another polaroid B, oriented at 60 and finally through another polaroid C, oriented at 45 relative to B as shown. The intensity of emergent light is: [figure]

For Young's double slit experiment, two statements are given below : In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
2. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

In a Young's double slit experiment, a student observes 8 fringes in a certain segment of screen when a monochromatic light of 600 nm wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to 400 nm, then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is

1. 6
2. 8
3. 9
4. 12

A light ray falls on a glass surface of refractive index 3, at an angle 60 . The angle between the refracted and reflected rays would be

1. 30
2. 60
3. 90
4. 120

If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits in a Young's double slit experiment, then the :

1. linear separation of the fringes decreases
2. angular separation of the fringes increases
3. angular separation of the fringes decreases
4. linear separation of the fringes increase

After passing through a polariser a linearly polarised light of intensity I is incident on an analyser making an angle of 30 with that of the polariser. The intensity of light emitted from the analyser will be

1. 2I3
2. I2
3. I3
4. 3I4

Assume that light of wavelength 600 nm is coming from a star. The limit of resolution of telescope whose objective has a diameter of 2 m is :
