Two monochromatic (wavelength =a//5) and...

Two monochromatic (wavelength `=a//5`) and coherent sources of electromagnetic waves are placed on the x-axis at the point (2a,0) and `(-a,0)`. A detector moves in a circle of radius `R(gt gt 2a)` whose centre is at te origin. The number of maximas detected during one circular revolution by the deterctor are -

A

60

B

15

C

64

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For point `P,Deltax=3a=15lamda` and at point Q it is also `15 lamda` somewhere at point B, it it zero thus in half part of the circle available maxima
`15xx2=30`
Thus total maxima `=2xx30=60`

Figure shows two coherent sources S_(1) and S_(2) which emit sound of wavelength lambda in phase. The separation between the sources is lambda. A circular wire of large radius is placed in such a way that S_(1)S_(2) lies in its plane and the middle point of S_(1)S_(2) is at the centre of the wire. Find the angular positions theta, on the wire for which constructive interference takes place.

Huygen was the figure scientist who proposed the idea of wave theory of light he said that the light propagates in form of wavelengths. A wavefront is a imaginary surface of every point of which waves are in the same. phase. For example the wavefront for a point source of light is collection of concentric spheres which have centre at the origin w_(1) is a wavefront w_(2) is another wavefront. The radius of the wavefront at time 't' is 'ct' in thic case where 'c' is the speed of light the direction of propagation of light is perpendicular to the surface of the wavelength. the wavefronts are plane wavefronts in case of a parallel beam of light. Huygen also said that every point of the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets. The tangent drawn to all secondary wavelets at a time is the new wavefront at that time. The wavelets are to be considered only in the forward direction (i.e., the direction of propagation of light) and not in the reverse direction if a wavefront w_(1) and draw spheres of radius 'cDeltat' they are called secondary wavelets. Draw a surface w_(2) which is tangential to all these secondary wavelets w_(2) is the wavefront at time t+Deltat Huygen proved the laws of reflection and laws of refraction using concept of wavefront. Q. A point source of light is placed at origin, in air. the equation of wavefront of the wave at time t, emitted by source at t=0 is (take refractive index of air as 1)

Two charges –q and +q are located at points (0, 0, –a) and (0, 0, a), respectively. (a) What is the electrostatic potential at the points (0, 0, z) and (x, y, 0) ? (b) Obtain the dependence of potential on the distance r of a point from the origin when r//a gt gt 1 . (c) How much work is done in moving a small test charge from the point (5,0,0) to (–7,0,0) along the x-axis? Does the answer change if the path of the test charge between the same points is not along the x-axis?
