In ideal double-slit experiment, a glass plate (refractive index = 1.5) of thickness t is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams (wavelength lambda ), intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The minimum thickness of the glass plate is

When a thin transparent plate of refractive index 1.5 is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams, 20 fringes shift. If the plate is replaced by another plate of refractive index 1.6 and half the thickness, the number of fringes that are displaced is

A beam of light converges at a point P. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam 12cm from P. At what point does the beam converge if the lens is (a) a convex lens of focal length 20cm, and (b) a concave lens of focal length 16cm?

Answer the following questions: (c) When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from a distant source, a bright spot is seen at the centre of the shadow of the obstacle. Explain why?

In an interference experiment, when a glass plate of refractive index 1.5 is introduced in the path of one of the beams, fringes are displaced by x . When the glass plate is replaced by another transparent plate of same thickness shift in the fringes is 3/2 x . Refractive index of second transparent plate is

A narrow circular disc is placed in the path of beam of white light. The centre of the geometrical shadow will be :
