Short answer questions:

1. Explain spatial Coherence. 2. Differentiate between Interference and Diffraction. 3. What happens to the bandwidth in youngs double slit experiment if the distance between the coherent sources is halved.

5 x 2 = 10 marks II. Answer any two from the following: 2 x 5 = 10 marks

4. Light of wavelength 6000 falls normally on a thin wedge shaped film of refractive index 1.4, forming fringes that are 2mm apart. Find the angle of the wedge. 5. What happens for the diameter of Newtons ring if the apparatus is kept in liquid? Explain your answer. 6. Give diagram to show path difference in interference of light rays from thin film by reflection. Also give conditions for maxima and minima.

III.

Answer the following: 2 x 10 = 20 marks

7. Explain how Newtons rings are formed. Derive equations to calculate the wavelength and refractive index of the liquid using Newtons rings. OR 8. Explain how fringes are formed in an air wedge. Derive equations to find the fringe width in air wedge experiment. 9. Explain youngs double slit experiment. Show that the fringe widths of dark and bright fringes are same in the experiment.

OR 10.How can you find the thickness of a transparent sheet of material using youngs double slit experiment? Also explain why we cannot use monochromatic light sources?
