CASE STUDY BASE QUESTIONS ::SECTION – E: 8 X 1 = 8 8M
34 When two light waves of the same frequency and having zero or constant phase difference
travelling in the same direction superpose each other, the intensity in the region of
superposition gets redistributed, becoming maximum at some points and minimum at others.
This phenomenon is called interference of light. The two sources of light are said to be
coherent only when the phase difference between the light waves produced by them is zero
or constant. The point at which two waves are in phase or if trough of one wave coincides
with the trough of other or crest of one wave coincides with the crest of other then the
resultant intensity produced at that point will be larger and amplitude also maximum. Such
points are the points where ‘constructive interference’ takes place. While there are some
points where two light waves are not in phase with each other and crest of one wave coincides
with the trough of other and vice versa due to which resultant intensity at that point is
minimum and amplitude also get decreased. Such points are the points where ‘destructive
interference’ takes place.
For constructive interference, the path difference is equal to integral multiple of wavelengths
and resultant intensity will be maximum at that points. While for destructive interference,
the path difference is (n + 1/2) multiple of wavelengths and where resultant intensity is zero.
i) What are coherent sources ?

ii) How coherent sources are obtained in YDSE?
iii) Give any two conditions to obtain sustained interference pattern?
iv) Draw the intensity distribution curve in case of interference of light?
v) How does the fringe width in interference change if red light is replaced by blue
light?
35 P-N junction is a semiconductor diode. It is obtained by bringing p-type semiconductor in

close contact with n-type semiconductor. A thin layer is developed at the p-n junction which
is devoid of any charge carrier but has immobile ions. It is called depletion layer. At the
junction a potential barrier appears which does not allow the movement of majority charge
carriers across the junction in the absence of any biasing of the junction.
If p-side of p-n junction is connected to positive terminals of external battery and n-side is
connected to negative terminal of external battery, then the p-n junction is said to be forward

biased. If n-side of p-n junction is connected to positive terminals of external battery and p-
side is connected to negative terminal of external battery, then the p-n junction is said to be
reverse biased. The p-n junction offers low resistance when forward biased and high
resistance when reverse biased.

a. 20 A b)2 x 10-3 A c) 200 A d) 2 x 10-4 A

ii) Define diffusion and drift in the context of semiconductor junction diode? ( 2M)
iii) Define minority carrier injection?
iv) How does the potential barrier change during reverse bias?
