MCQ
Assertion : A white source of light during interference forms only white and black fringes.

Reason : Width of fringe is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light used.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: D.
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
d
A white source of light during interference will form coloured fringes.

Fringe width is given by $\beta =\frac {\lambda D}{d}$ i.e., it is

directly proportional to wavelength.

The ratio of surface tensions of mercury and water is given to be $7.5$ while the ratio of their densities is $13.6$. Their contact angles, with glass, are close to $135^o$ and $0^o$, respectively. It is observed that mercury gets depressed by an amount $h$ in a capillary tube of radius $r_1$, while water rises by the same amount $h$ in a capillary tube of radius $r_2$. The ratio, $(r_1/r_2)$, is then close to
