Q1. Ray optics is a limiting case of wave optics. Comment. Q2. Explain the cause of dispersion. Q3. Why dispersion is not observed when light passes through a glass slab? Q4. Vehicle moving in foggy weather uses yellow head lamps. Why? Q5. For what distance from an aperture of width 3 mm, the rectilinear propagation of light of wavelength 500 nm can be considered valid? Q6. Explain the blue colour of sky. Q7. If the angle between the polarizer and analyzer is 45, what is the ratio of the original incident light to that of the light transmitted after passing through the analyzer? Q8. Give the ratio of velocities of light rays of wave lengths 4000 A and 8000 A in vacuum. Q9. What is the polarizing angle of a medium of refractive index 1.732? Q10. Write differences between interference and diffraction. Q11. Why narrow sources are to be used for producing interference? Q12. Why longitudinal waves cannot be polarized? Q13. Why two independent sources even of same frequency and amplitude cannot be coherent? Q14. Two slits in Young's double slit experiment have widths in the ratio 81:1. What is the ratio of the amplitudes of light waves from them?

Q15. In Young's double slit experiment, light from each source has an intensity Io. What is the intensity at a point where constructive interference takes place? Q16. The ratio of intensities of maxima and minima in an interference pattern is 100:64. Calculate the ratio of the intensities of the coherent sources producing this pattern. Q17. Two Polaroids are placed at 900 to each other and the intensity of transmitted light is zero. What will be the intensity of transmitted light when one more Polaroid is placed between these two, bisecting the angle between them? Take the intensity of unpolarised light as I0. Q18.A compound microscope has an eye piece of focal length 10 cm and an objective of focal length 4 cm. Calculate the magnification, if an object is placed at a distance of 5 cm from the objective so that the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision. Q19. The reflected light is found to be completely plane polarized when sunlight is incident on water surface at glancing angle 370. Determine angle of refraction and refractive index of water. Q20 .Show with the help of a suitable diagram, how Huygenss principle is used to obtain the diffraction by a single slit. Draw a plot of intensity distribution and explain clearly why the secondary maxima become weaker with increasing order n of the secondary maxima. Q 21.Two lamps of 16 and 36 candela respectively are 1m apart. Where a screen should be placed between them so that it is equally illuminated on both sides?

Q22. A small bulb is placed at the bottom of a tank containing water to a depth of 80cm.What is the area of the surface of water through which light from the bulb can emerge out? Refractive index of water is 1.33. (Consider the bulb to be a point source.) Q23. A small candle 2.5 cm in size is placed 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to receive a sharp image? Describe the nature & size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the screen have to be moved? Q24. In Youngs double slit experiment; two slits are separated by 3 mm distance and illuminated by light of wavelength 480 nm. The screen is at 2 m from the plane of the slits. Calculate the separation between the 8th bright fringe and the 3rd dark fringe observed with respect to the central bright fringe. Q25. A bi-convex lens of radii of curvature 30.0 cm each is placed on the surface of water so that the lower surface is only immersed . An illuminated object 40 cm deep is observed vertically through the lens and water. Find the position of the image. Refractive index of air-glass=3/2 and of glass-air=4/3.
