Short answered questions:

1. Can two real sources of light acts as coherent sources?

2. Can we obtain interference with wide slits?
3. Can be obtain interference pattern if two coherent sources are separated by a distance less
than a wavelength of light?
4. What are the coherent sources
5. Newton’s ring are circular but air wedge fringes are straight
6. Why do we see colours when white light falls on a thin film of transparent medium?
7. What will happen if the white light is used instead of monochromatic light in Newton’s
ring experiment
8. In newton’s ring experiment the fringes are circular with dark ring at the centre. Why?
9. An oil film of thickness t=0.12 micrometre rests on a pool of water. If light
strikes the film at an angle of 600, what is the wavelength reflected in the first order?
10. Calculate the thickness of the thinnest film ( ) in which interference of violet
component ( ) of incident light can take place by reflection.
11. Newton’s ring are made with light of wavelength 6400A and a thin layer of oil ,
formed between the curved surface of a Plano convex lens radius of curvature 80cm,
and a plane glass plate . Calculate the radius of smallest dark ring.
12. A parallel beam of light of is incident on a thin glass plate such that
the angle of refraction into the plate is 60 . Calculate the smallest thickness of the plate
0

which will make it appear dark by reflection.
