ASSIGNMENT BOOKLET
Bachelor’s Degree Programme (B.Sc.)
OPTICS
Please Note
You can take electives (56 to 64 credits) from a minimum of TWO and a
maximum of FOUR science disciplines, viz. Physics, Chemistry, Life
Sciences and Mathematics.
You can opt for elective courses worth a MINIMUM OF 8 CREDITS and a
MAXIMUM OF 48 CREDITS from any of these four disciplines.
At least 25% of the total credits that you register for in the elective
courses from Life Sciences, Chemistry and Physics disciplines must be
from the laboratory courses. For example, if you opt for a total of 64
credits of electives in these 3 disciplines, at least 16 credits should be
from lab courses.

Dear Student,
We hope you are familiar with the system of evaluation to be followed for the Bachelor’s Degree
Programme. At this stage you may probably like to re-read the section on assignments in the
Programme Guide for Elective Courses that we sent you after your enrolment. A weightage of
30 per cent, as you are aware, has been earmarked for continuous evaluation which consists of
one tutor-marked assignment for this 4-credit course. Submit your assignments at your
study centre.

e) Discuss the concept of missing orders with particular reference to double slit
diffraction pattern.
2. a) An oil (0 = 1.45) film of thickness 280 nm floats on water (w = 1.33). It is
illuminated by white light at normal incidence. Which colour in the visible
spectrum will be most strongly (i) reflected, and (ii) transmitted? (5,5)
b) Obtain the expression for shift in fringes when a thin transparent sheet is
introduced in the path of one of the waves in a double slit interference
experiment. (10)
b) With the help of appropriate energy level diagram, explain the working of a
He-Ne laser. A He-Ne laser emits a beam of diameter 2103m and wavelength
630 nm. It is directedtowards an aeroplane flying at a height of 11 km. Calculate
the diameter of the light patch produced on the surface of the aeroplane. (5,5)

5. a) Discuss three important practical applications of lasers. (5)
c) State the characteristics of step index and gradient index optical fibres. Depict
their refractive index profiles and propagation of light through them. (10)
