Wave Optics Objective Questions

This document contains 12 multiple choice questions about the principles of wave optics and properties of interference patterns produced in double-slit experiments. The questions cover topics like how fringe width changes with experimental parameters, ratios of intensities at interference maxima and minima for different beam intensities and amplitudes, how patterns shift with changes to slit sizes or wavelengths, and calculations to determine slit widths or distances based on observed interference patterns.
