White coherent light (400nm - 700nm) is sent through the slits of a Young's double slit experiment (figure.) The separation between the slits is 0.5mm and the screen is 50cm away from the slits. There is a hole in the screen at a point 1.0mm away (along the width of the fringes) from the central line.
- Which wavelength (s) will be absent in the light coming from the hole?
- which wavelength (s) will have a strong intensity?
Two concave mirrors of equal radii of curvature R are fixed on a stand facing opposite directions. The whole system has a mass m and is kept on a frictionless horizontal table. 
Two blocks A and B, each of mass m, are placed on the two sides of the stand. At t = 0, the separation between A and the mirrors is 2 R and also the separation between B and the mirrors is 2 R. The block B moves towards the mirror at a speed v. All collisions which take place are elastic. Taking the original position of the mirrors-stand system to be x = 0 and X-axis along AB, find the position of the images of A and B at t =

A point source emitting alpha particles is placed at a distance of 1m from a counter which records any alpha particle falling on its 1cm2 window. If the source contains 6.0 × 1016 active nuclei and the counter records a rate of 50000 counts/ second, find the decay constant. Assume that the source emits alpha particles uniformly in all directions and the alpha particles fall nearly normally on the window.
