On screen there are two bright points at a distance I mm. These points are observed by the person whose eye is having diameter 3 mm from which maximum distance this person can observe them resolved ?

A

6 m

B

3 m

C

5 m

D

1 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


Resolution power `=(1.22 lambda)/(d)`
and `sin theta~~=(y)/(D)`
`:.(y)/(D)=(1.22 lambda)/(d)`
`:. D=(yd)/(1.22lambda)=(10^(-3)xx3xx10^(-3))/(1.22xx5xx10^(-7))=(30)/(6.1)=5 m`

A point source of light is kept at a distance of 15cm from a converging lens,on its optical axis.The focal length of the lens is 10cm and its diameter is 3cm ,A screen is placed on the other side of the lens ,perpendicular to the axis of lens,at a distance 20cm from it.Then find the area of the illuminated part of the screen?

Statement-1: In Young's double slit experiment the two slits are at distance d apart. Interference pattern is observed on a screen at distance D from the slits. At a poit on the screen when it is directly opposite to one of the slits, a dard fringe is observed then the wavelength of wave is proportional of square of distance of two slits. Statement-2: In Young's double slit experiment, for identical slits, the intensity of a dark fringe is zero.

Plane sound waves of wavelength 0.12 m are incident on two narrow slits in a box nonreflecting walls, as shown. At a distance of 5.0 m from the center of the slits, a first-order maximum occurs at point P, which is 3.0 m from the central maximum. The distance between the slits is most nearly. .
