Note: Answer all questions.

Question 1: (a) Write all the four Maxwell’s equations in integral form and transform them into corresponding

differential forms applying proper theorems. [6]

(b) A plane electromagnetic wave of intensity 10 mW /mm2 travelling in air (nair =1) falls on a glass

(nglass= 1.5) surface normally. A part of intensity of e.m. wave is reflected back in air and

remaining part is transmitted. Assuming no absorption loss, find (i) intensity of reflected wave

(ii) intensity of transmitted wave. [4]

Question 2: (a) A double refracting crystal of arbitrary thickness is cut in such a way that its refracting faces are

parallel to optic axes. An unpolarized monochromatic light of wavelength λ falls

normally on one of its refracting faces and travel perpendicular to optic axis, however, vibration

of electric field vectors corresponding to o-ray and e-ray are mutually perpendicular to each

other. Refractive indices for o-ray and e-ray are respectively n0 and ne (n0 ≠ ne ). Prove that the out

coming wave is generally elliptically polarized. Discuss the different conditions so that out

coming wave becomes (i) circularly polarized (ii) plane polarized. [7]

(b) When a monochromatic collimated beam of unpolarized light of intensity I 0 passes through a

system of two polarizers ‘A’ and ‘B’, no light is transmitted through the system. Intensity of

transmitted light becomes 3I0/ 32 when a polarizer ‘C’ is introduced between the two polarizer

‘A’ and ‘B’. Find angle between the pass axes of polarizers ‘A’ and ‘C’. Also find angle between

the pass axes of polarizer ‘C’ and ‘B’. [3]

Question 3: (a) What are basic assumptions of Compton effect? Assuming angle of recoil of electron to be ‘θ’

and scattering angle of photon to be φ, write expressions for conservation of energy and

momentum and hence obtain expression for Compton shift Δλ . [7]

(b) X-rays of wavelength 10 x10-12 m are scattered from a target. Find the maximum value of

wavelength present in the scattered X-rays. [3]

Question 4 : (a) Explain spontaneous and stimulated emission and establish relation between Einstein ‘A’ and ‘B’

coefficients. Based on the relation between Einstein ‘A’ and ‘B’ coefficients explain why it is

difficult to design lasers in X-ray regions? [7]

(b) Explain working of a He-Ne Lase with neat energy level diagram. Why tubes of

He-Ne laser are made narrower in the middle? [3]

Question 5: (a) Establish Schrodinger’s wave equation in time dependent form. [4]

(b) Define group velocity and phase velocity. Find phase velocity and group velocity associated with a

particle moving with velocity ‘v’ . [4]

(c) Position of a proton is measured with an accuracy of 1.00X 10-11 m. Find the uncertainty in

position of proton after 0.5 seconds. Assume velocity of proton to be quite smaller than speed

of light. [2]
