Ten questions. The result tells you which lessons you may skip.

1

A plane wavefront in air meets glass (\(\mu = 1.5\)) at an angle. While one end of the front travels BC in air, the wavelet from the other end grows in the glass to a radius AD. Which is true?

2

A line emitted at \(500\,\text{nm}\) by a galaxy is seen at \(505\,\text{nm}\). The galaxy is

3

For light of \(600\,\text{nm}\), a path difference of \(150\,\text{nm}\) gives a phase difference of

4

Two separate bulbs lighting one screen give no fringes because

5

Two coherent waves have amplitudes in the ratio \(3 : 4\). The ratio \(I_{\max}/I_{\min}\) is

6

In a double slit experiment \(\lambda = 600\,\text{nm}\), \(d = 1\,\text{mm}\) and \(D = 1\,\text{m}\). The fringe width is

7

With a fringe width of \(0.6\,\text{mm}\), the third dark fringe lies from the centre at

8

With a fringe width of \(0.6\,\text{mm}\), the intensity falls to half of \(I_{\max}\) at a distance from the centre of

9

A fringe width of \(0.6\,\text{mm}\) in air becomes, with the apparatus under water (\(\mu = \tfrac43\)),

10

A glass slab (\(\mu = 1.5\)) \(6\,\mu\text{m}\) thick covers one slit, with \(d = 1\,\text{mm}\) and \(D = 1\,\text{m}\). The pattern moves
