A coherent parallel beam of microwaves of wavelength lambda = 0.5 mm falls on aYoung's double- slit apparatus. The separation between the slits is 1.0 mm. The intensity of microwaves is measured on a screen placed parallel to the plane of the slits at a distance of 1.0 m from it as shown in Fig. 2.42. If the incident beam makes an angle or 30^(@) with the x-axis (as in the dotted arrow shown in the figure), find the y-coordinates of the first minima on either side of the central maximum.

Two blocks of mass m_(1)=10kg and m_(2)=5kg connected to each other by a massless inextensible string of length 0.3m are placed along a diameter of the turntable. The coefficient of friction between the table and m_(1) is 0.5 while there is no friction between m_(2) and the table. the table is rotating with an angular velocity of 10rad//s . about a vertical axis passing through its center O . the masses are placed along the diameter of the table on either side of the center O such that the mass m_(1) is at a distance of 0.124m from O . the masses are observed to be at a rest with respect to an observed on the tuntable (g=9.8m//s^(2)) . (a) Calculate the friction on m_(1) (b) What should be the minimum angular speed of the turntable so that the masses will slip from this position? (c ) How should the masses be placed with the string remaining taut so that there is no friction on m_(1) .

Two identical glass rods S_(1) and S_(2) (refractive index=1.5) have one convex end of radius of curvature 10 cm. They are placed with the curved surfaces at a distance d as shown in the figure, with their axes (shown by the dashed line) aligned. When a point source of light P is placed inside rod S_(1) on its axis at a distance of 50 cm from the curved face, the light rays emenating from it are found to be parallel to the axis inside S_(2) . The distance d is
