MCQ
The figure shows a surface $XY$ separating two transparent media, medium - $1$ and medium- $2$. The lines $ab$ and $cd$ represent wavefronts of a light wave traveling in medium- $1$ and incident on $XY$. The lines $ef$ and $gh$ represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium- $2$ after refraction.

The phases of the light wave at $c, d, e$ and $f$ are $\phi_c,\phi_d, \phi_e$ and $\phi_f$  respectively. It is given that $\phi_c \neq \phi_f.$

  • A
    $\phi_c$ cannot be equal to $\phi_d$
  • B
    $\phi_d$ can be equal to $\phi_e$
  • $(\phi_d -\phi_f)$ is equal to $(\phi_c -\phi_e)$
  • D
    $(\phi_d -\phi_c)$ is not equal to $(\phi_f -\phi_e)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(\phi_d -\phi_f)$ is equal to $(\phi_c -\phi_e)$
c
$\phi_{c}=\phi_{d}$

$\phi_{e}=\phi_{f}$

on subtracts

$\phi_{c}-\phi_{e}=\phi_{d}-\phi_{f}$

Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at $0.00 cm$ and the right one at $90.00 cm$. When you attempt to move both the fingers slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance, the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance $x_R$ from the center ( $50.00 cm$ ) of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are $0.40$ and $0.32$ , respectively, the value of $x_R($ in $cm )$ is. . . . . . .
