An oscillating charge produces an oscillating electric field in

space, which produces an oscillating magnetic field, which in
1
turn, is a source of oscillating electric field and so on. The
oscillating electric and magnetic fields thus regenerate each
other, as the wave propagates through space.

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave equals the

frequency of oscillation of the charge. 1

Release of energy in nuclear fission: when a heavy nucleus 3

(A>235 say) breaks into two lighter nuclei, the binding
energy per nucleon increases i.e. nucleons get more tightly 1
bound. This implies that energy would be released in nuclear
fission.

Release of energy in nuclear fusion: when two very light

nuclei join to form a heavy nucleus, the binding energy per 1
nucleon of fused heavier nuclei is more than the binding
energy of lighter nuclei, so again energy would be released
in nuclear fusion.

We know that F is an attractive (-) force when the currents
are like currents. i.e. the product of currents is positive.

(i) The interference pattern has a number of equally spaced bright and
dark bands. The diffraction pattern has a central bright maximum which is
twice as wide as the other maxima. The intensity falls as we go to
successive maxima away from the centre, on either side.

(ii) We calculate the interference pattern by superposing two waves

originating from the two narrow slits. The diffraction pattern is a
superposition of a continuous family of waves originating from each point
on a single slit.

(iii) For a single slit of width, a, the first null of the interference pattern
occurs at an angle of λ/a. At the same angle of λ/a, we get a maximum (not
a null) for two narrow slits separated by a distance a.
