In 1873 , James Maxwell proposed that visible light consists of electromagnetic waves. According to Maxwell's theory, an electromagnetic wave has an electric. Field component and a magnetic field compound. Which of the followong is incorrect regarding the two components?

A beam of light consists of two wavelengths, 6300Å and 5600Å . This beam of light is used to obtain an interference pattern in YDSE. If 4^("th") bright fringe of 6300Å coincides with the n^("th") dark fringe of 5600Å from the central line, then find the value of n.

In a Young's double slit experiment, if the incident light consists of two wavelengths lamda_(1)andlamda_(2) , the slit separation is d, and the distance between the slit and the screen is D, the maxima due to the two wavelengths will coincide at a distance from the central maxima, given by :

In a Young's double-slit experiment, if the incident light consists of two wavelengths lambda_(1) and lambda_(2) , the slit separation is d, and the distance between the slit and the screen is D, the maxima due to each wavelength will coincide at a distance from the central maxima, given by

In YDSE a parallel beam of incident light consists of two wavelengths lambda_(1)=4000Å and lambda_(2)=5600Å . The minimum distance y on the screen, measured from the central axis, where the bright fringe due to two wavelengths coincide is (nlambda_(1)D)/(d) . Find n.

A beam of light consists of four wavelength 4000Å , 4800 A, 6000 A and 7000 Å , each of intensity 1.5xx10^(-3)Wm^(-2) . The beam falls normally on an area 10^(-4)m^(2) of a clean metalic surface of work function 1.9 eV . Assuming no loss of light energy (i.e. each capable photon emits one electron) calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated per second.

How many colours does white light consist of and what are they?

Young's experiment proves that light consist of

In Young's double slit experiment slits are separated by 2 mm and the screen is placed at a distance of1.2 m from the slits. Light consisting of two wavelengths 6500Å and 5200Å are used to obtain interference fringes. The the separation between the fourth bright fringes the two wavelength is
