How is a wavefront defined? Using Huygens' prniciple draw a figure showing the propagation of a plane wave reflecting at the interface of the two media. Show that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

When a wave is reflected from a denser medium, the change in phase is:

White ligth is incident on the interface of glass and air as shown in the figure.If green light is just totally internally reflected,then the emerging ray in air contains. .

Glass of refractive index 1.5 is coated with a thin layer of thickness t and refractive index 1.8 . Light of wavelength lambda travelling in air is incident normally on the layer. It is partly reflected at the upper and the lower surfaces of the layer and the two reflected rays interface . If lambda = 648 nm , obtain the least value of t ("in" 10^(-8)m ) which the rays interface constructively.

In these question, a statement of asertion followed by a statement of reason is given .Choose the correct answer out of the following choices: Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement. Assertion:Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system.|When the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index gerter than that of glass,the central spot of the pattern in bright. Reason:This is because,reflections in these cases will be ffrom a denser to a rartrer medium and the two - interfering rays are reflected under siilar conditins.

A beam of unpolarised ligth is incident on a glass-air interface. Showing a suitable ray diagram,that light reflected from the interface is totally polarised,when mu=tan i_B ,Where mu is the refractive index of glass with respect to air and i_B is the Brewster's angle.

Figures (a) and (b) show refraction of a ray in air incident at 60^@ with the normal to a glass-air and water-air interface, respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is 45^@ with the normal to a water-glass interface [Fig. (c)]. :

Explain reflection of waves and find the general expression for the resultant displacement when direct and reflected waves overlap.
