Statement-1 : Mechanical energy of a partical execting SHM is E. Maximum KE of particle may be greater than E. Statement-2 : Potential energy of a system may be negative.

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.

Statement-1: if white light is used in YDSE, then the central bright fringe will be white. Statement-2: In case of white light used in YDSE all the wavelengths produce their zero order maxima at the same position.

Interference pattern is formed from two coherent sources of same intensity. If intensit of minima is zero, then what will be th intensity of maxima ?

The young's double slit experiment is done in a medium of refractive index 4//3 .A light of 600nm wavelength is falling on the slits having 0.45 mm separation .The lower slit S_(2) is covered by a thin glass sheet of thickness 10.4mu m and refractive index 1.5 .the intereference pattern is observed ona screen placed 1.5m from the slits are shown (a) Find the location of the central maximum (bright fringe with zero path difference)on the y-axis. (b) Find the light intensity at point O relative to the maximum fringe intensity. (c )Now,if 600nm light is replaced by white light of range 400 to700 nm find the wavelength of the light that from maxima exactly point O .[All wavelengths in this problem are for the given medium of refractive index 4//3 .Ignore dispersion]

A ray of light travelling with a speed c leaves point 1 shown in figure and is reflected to point 2. The ray strikes the reflecting surface at a distance x from point 1. According to Fermat's principle of least time, among all possible paths between two points , the one actually taken by a ray of light is that for which the time taken is the least (In fact there are some cases in which the time taken by a ray is maximum rather than a minimum). Which of the following statement is in accordance with Fermat's principle

Statement-1 : Shock waves produced by supersonic aircraft may be visible Statement-2 : The sudden decrease in air pressure in the shock waves caused water molecules in the air to condense, forming a fog.

Statement- 1 : Potential energy of water at 0^(@)C is more than ice at 0^(@)C . Statement- 2 : Heat given to melt ice at 0^(@)C is used up in increasing the potential energy of water molecules formed at 0^(@)C .

Thin films, including soap bubbles and oil slicks, show patterns of alternating dark and bright regions resulting from interference among the reflected light waves. If two waves are in phase their crest and troughs will coincide. The interference will be constructive and the aplitude of the resultant wave will be greater than the amplitude of either constituent wave. if the two waves are out of phase, the crests of one wave will coincide with the troughs of the other wave. The interference will be destructive and the amplitude of the resultant wave will be less than that of either constituent wave. at the interface between two transparent media some light is reflected and some light is refracted. * When incident light, reaches the surface at point a, some of the light is reflected as ray R_(a) and and some is refracted following the path ab to the back of the film. *At point b some of the light is refracted out of the film and part is reflected back refracted out of the fiml as ray R_(c) . R_(a) and R_(c) are parallel. However, R_(c) has travelled the extra distance within the film of abc. if the angle of incidence is small then abc is approximately twice the film's thickness. if R_(a) and R_(c) are in phase they will undergo constructive interference and the region ac will be bright if R_(a) and R_(c) are out of phase, they will undergo destructive interference. * Refraction at an interface never changes the phase of the wave. * For reflection at the interface between two media 1 and 2, if n_(1)ltn_(2) the reflected wave will change phase by pi . if n_(1)gtn_(2) the reflected wave will not undergo a phase change. for reference n_(air)=1.00 * if the waves are in phase after refection at all interfaces, then the effects of path length in the film are Constructive interference occur when (n= refractive index) 2t=mlamda//n" "m=0,1,2,3... .. Destructive interference occurs when 2t=(m+1//2)lamda//n" "m=0,1,2,3... Q. A 600 nm light is perpendicularly incident on a soap film suspended in air. The film is 1.00 mum thick with n=1.35. Which statement most accurately describes the interference of the light reflected by the two surfaces of the film?
