    Wave Optics Practice Questions

    1. In a Young’s double slit experiment, the path difference at a certain point on the screen between two interfering
    waves is 𝟏/𝟖 th of the wavelength. The ratio of intensity at this point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is close to

    (a) 0.80 (b) 0.74 (c) 0.94 (d) 0.85

    2. A double slit interference experiment is carried out in air and the entire arrangement is dipped in water. The fringe
    width
    (a) Increases (b) decreases (c) remains unchanged (d) fringe pattern disappears
    3. In a single slit diffraction, slit width of d with incident light of wavelength 5500Å, the first minimum is observed at an
    angle 300. The first secondary maximum is observed at an angle Ө is
    (a) sin-11/√2 (b) sin-11/4 (c) sin-13/4 (d) sin-1√3/2

    4. Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensity I and 4I are superimposed. The maximum and minimum
    possible intensities in the resulting beams are
    (a) 5I and I (b) 9I and I(c) 5I and 3I (d) 9I and 3I
    5. In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is reduced to half its original width. How would this affect
    the size and intensity of the central maximum?

    6.Laser light of wavelength 640 nm incident on a pair of slits produces an interference pattern in which the bright fringes
    are separated by 7.2 mm. Calculate the wavelength of another source of light which produces interference fringes
    separated by 8.1 mm using the same arrangement. Also find the minimum value of the order ‘n’ of bright fringe of
    shorter wavelength which coincides with that of the longer wavelength.
    7. Yellow light (λ = 6000Å) illuminates a single slit of width 1 x 10-4 m. Calculate
    (i) the distance between the two dark lines on either side of the central maximum, when the diffraction pattern is viewed
    on a screen kept 1.5 m away from the slit;
    (ii) the angular spread of the first diffraction minimum.

    8. A parallel beam of light of 500 nm falls on a narrow slit and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 1
    m away. It is observed that the first minimum is at a distance of 2.5 mm from the centre of the screen. Calculate the
    width of the slit
    9. A parallel beam of light of 600 nm falls on a narrow slit and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen
    1.2 m away. It is observed that the first minimum is at a distance of 3 mm from the centre of the screen. Calculate the
    width of the slit

    10. In Young’s double slit experiment, the two slits 0. 15 mm apart are illuminated by monochromatic light of
    wavelength 450 nm. The screen is 1.0 m away from the slits.
    (a) Find the distance of the second
    (i) bright fringe,
    (ii) dark fringe from the central maximum.
    (b) How will the fringe pattern change if the screen is moved away from the slits?
    11. In a modified set-up of Young’s double slit experiment, it is given that SS2 – SS1 = λ/4, i.e. the source ‘S’ is not
    equidistant from the slits S1 and S2.
    (a) Obtain the conditions for constructive and destructive interference at any point P on the screen in terms of the path
    difference δ = S2P-S1P.

    (b) Does the observed central bright fringe lie above or below ‘O’? Give reason to support your answer

    12. Use Huygens principle to verify the laws of refraction for the light traveling from denser to rarer medium.
