Section A

1.(d) diffraction bands become narrower and crowded together

2.(a) plane
3.(d) photoelectric effect
4.(a) λι=λ₂
5.(d) invisible
6.(c) by using white light instead of monochromatic light
7.(d) fringe width remains the same
8.d) only central fringe is white and all other fringes are coloured
9.(c) be four times
10.(d) 800 mm
11.(c) Real and large
12.(a) Total internal reflection
13.(c) The Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
14.a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the
Assertion
15.(d) Both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
16.(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the
Assertion.

Section D

29.i)(a) 5 cm, 35 cm
ii) (b) 10 cm
iii) (d) large focal length
iv) (d) astronomical telescope.

30.i) (a) -26.7cm

ii) (b) diverging lens
iii) (b) single convex lens
iv) (d) between F and optical centre

Section E

31.i)Define a wavefront. How is it different from a ray?

II) Using Huygens’s construction of secondary wavelets draw a diagram showing the passage of
a plane wavefront from a denser to a rarer medium. Using it verify Snell’s law.
32.(a) In Young’s double slit experiment, describe briefly how bright and dark fringes are
obtained on the screen kept in front of a double slit. Hence obtain the expression for the fringe
width.
(b) The ratio of the intensities at minima to the maxima in the Young’s double slit experiment is
9: 25. Find the ratio of the widths of the two slits.
a) Refer question no. 23
b.

33.i)Draw a ray diagram for the formation of image of a point object by a thin double
convex lens having radii of curvature R1 and R2. Hence derive lens maker’s formula.
ii) A converging lens has a focal length of 10 cm in air. It is made of a material of
refractive index 1.6. If it is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.3, find its new
focal length.
