Two plane mirrors makes an angle of 120^(@) with each other. The distance between the two images of a point source formed in them is 20 cm . Determine the distance from the light source of the point where the mirrors touch, the light source lies on the bisector of the angle formed by the mirrors.

(a) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Explain why? (b) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave? (c) In the wave picture of light, intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. What determines the intensity of light in the photon picture of light

For light diverging from a point source

In a Young's double slit experiment, the source is white light. One of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case

Which parameter is used to determine effect of force on body ?

A mixture of light consisting of wavelength 590 nm and an unknown wavelength, illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interface patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both light coincide. Further it is observed that the third bright fringe of known light coincides with the 4^(th) bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data, the wavelength of the unknown light is

In Young's double slit experiment, slits are arranged in such a way that besides central bright fringes, there is only one bright fringe on either side of it. Slit separation d for the given condition cannot be (if lamda is wavelength of the light used):

In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.28 mm and the screen is placed 1.4 m away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the fourth bright fringe is measured to be 1.2 cm. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.
