Two group (A and B) of bean plants of similar size and same leaf area were placed in identical conditions .GroupA was exposed to light of wavelength of 400-450 nm and group B to light of wavelength 500-550 nm.Compare the photosynthetic rate of the two groups giving reason.

Two slits are 1 m mapart and the same slits are 1 m from a screen.Find out fringe separation,when light of wavelength 500 nm is used.

In Young.sexperiment, two slits ae made 1 mm (milimeter) apart and screen is placed 1 meter away. What is the fring separation when blue green light of wavelength 500 nm (nanometer) is used.

In Young's double slit experiment,usin light of wavelength 400 nm,interference fringes of width X are obtained .The wavelength of light is increassed to 600 nm and the separation between the slits is halved.If one wants the observed fringe width on the screen to be the same in the two caes,find the rati of the distance between the screen and the plane of the interfering sources in the two arrangements.

A beam of light of wavelength 400 nm is incident normally on a right angled prism as shown in fir.2.45. . It is observed that the light just grazes long the surface AC after falling on it.Give that there fractive index of the material of the prism varies with the wavelength as per the relation. mu=1.2 + b/(gamma^2) Calculate the value of b and the refractive index of the prism material for a wavelength gamma = 500 nm .Given theta=sin^(-1) 0.625 .

In figure S is a monochromatic point source emitting light of wavelength lambda=500 nm. A thin lens of circular shape and focal length 0.10 m is cut into two identical halves L_(1) and L_(2) by a plane passing through a doameter. The two halves are placed symmetrically about the central axis SO with a gap of 0.5 mm. The distance along the axis from A to L_(1) and L_(2) is 0.15 m , while that from L_(1) and L_(2) to O is 1.30 m. The screen at O is normal to SO. (a) If the 3^(rd) intensity maximum occurs at point P on screen, find distance OP.
