5. In a Young's experiment, the upper slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.4 while the
lower slit is covered by another glass plate having the same thickness as the first one but having
refractive index 1.7. Interference pattern is observed using light of wavelength 5400 Å. It is found that
the point P on the screen where the central maximum fell before the glass plates were inserted now has
(3/4)th the original intensity. It is further observed that what used to be the 5th maximum earlier, lies
below the point O while the 6th minimum lies above O. The thickness of the glass plate is n × 10–7m.
Find the value of n. (Absorption of light by glass plate may be neglected) [JEE 1997, 5/100]

Huygen was the first scientist who proposed the idea of wave theory of light. He said that the light
propagates in form of wavefronts. A wavefront is an imaginary surface at every point of which waves
are in the same phase. For example the wavefronts for a point source of light is collection of concentric
spheres which have centre at the origin. w1 is a wavefront. w2 is another wavefront.

The radius of the wavefront at time ‘t’ is ‘ct’ in this case where ‘c’ is the speed of light. The direction of
propagation of light is perpendicular to the surface of the wavefront. The wavefronts are plane
wavefronts in case of a parallel beam of light.

Huygen also said that every point of the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets. The
tangent drawn to all secondary wavelets at a time is the new wavefront at that time. The wavelets are to
be considered only in the forward direction (i.e. the direction of propagation of light) and not in the
reverse direction. If a wavefront w1 at time t is given, then to draw the wavefront at time t + t take
some points on the wavefront w1 and draw spheres of radius ‘ct’. They are called secondary wavelets.

1. Two parallel beams of light P & Q (separation d) containing radiations of wavelengths 4000 Å & 5000 Å
(which are mutually coherent in each wavelength separately) are incident normally on a prism as shown
in figure. The refractive index of the prism as a function of wavelength is given by the relation,
b
() = 1.20 + 2 , where  is in Å & b is a positive constant. The value of b is such that the condition for

total reflection at the face AC is just satisfied for one wavelength & is not satisfied for the other. A
convergent lens is used to bring these transmitted beams into focus. If the intensities of the upper & the
lower beams immediately after transmission from the face AC, are 4I & I respectively, find the resultant
intensity at the focus. [JEE 1991, 8]
