Wavefront is a locus of points which vibratic in same phase. A ray of light is perpendicular to the wavefront. According to Huygens principle, each point of the wavefront is the source of a secondary disturbance and the wavelets connecting from these points spread out in all directions with the speed of wave.
The figure shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium-I and medium-2. The lines ab and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium- 1 and incident on XY. The lines ef and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-2 after refraction.
  1. Light travels as a:
  1. Parallel beam in each medium.
  2. Convergent beam in each medium.
  3. Divergent beam in each medium.
  4. Divergent beam in one medium and convergent beam in the other medium.
  1. The phases of the light wave at c, d, e and f are $\phi_\text{c},\phi_\text{d},\phi_\text{e}$ and $\phi_\text{f}$ respectively. It is given that $\phi_\text{c}\not=\phi_\text{f}$

Answer

  1. (a) Parallel beam in each medium.
Explanation:
Since the path difference between two waveform is equal, light traves as parallel beam in each medium.
  1. (c) $(\phi_\text{d}-\phi_\text{f})$ is equal to $(\phi_\text{c}-\phi_\text{e})$
Explanation:
Since all points on the wavefront are in the same phase,
$\phi_\text{d}=\phi_\text{c}$ and $\phi_\text{f}=\phi_\text{e}$
$\therefore\phi_\text{d}-\phi_\text{f}=\phi_\text{c}-\phi_\text{e}$
  1. (a) Phase
Explanation:
Wavefront is the locus of all points, where the particles of the medium vibrate with the same phase.
  1. (a) Spherical
  1. (d) All of these.

When a monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency obtained from source $S,$ after being filtered by a filter attached on the window $W,$ fall on the photosensitive place $C,$ the photo electrons are emitted from $C,$ which get accelerated towards the plate $A$ if it is kept at positive potential. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in photoelectric current. Due to it, the microammeter shows a deflection. The reading of micrommeter measures the photoelectric current.

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in figure. The voltage across the electrodes is measured with the help ofan ideal voltmeter, and which can be varied by moving jockey Jon the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of $16 V$ and its internal resistance is $2\Omega$. The resistance of $100\ cm$ long potentiometer wire is $8\Omega$.

The photocurrent is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area $50\ cm^2$ at separation $0.5\ mm$ are used in the vacuum tube. Photocurrent in the circuit is very small, so we can treat the potentiometer circuit as an independent circuit.​​​​​​​

Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the penneability and pennittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $\text{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\epsilon_0}}.$ The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in any medium of permeability $\mu$ and pennittivity $\epsilon$ will be $\frac{\text{c}}{\sqrt{\text{K}\mu_\text{r}}}$ where $K$ is the dielectric constant of the medium and $\mu,$ is the relative permeability.

  1. $MLT^{-1}$
  2. $ML^2T^{-2}$
  3. $ML^{-1}T^{-2}$
  4. $ML^2T^{-1}$
  1. Let $[\epsilon_0]$ denote the dimensional formula of the permittivity of the vacuum. $UM =$ mass, $L =$ length, $T = $ time and $A =$ electric current, then
  1. $[\epsilon_0]=\text{M}^{-1}\text{L}^{-3}\text{T}^2\text{A}$
  2. $[\epsilon_0]=\text{M}^{-1}\text{L}^{-3}\text{T}^4\text{A}^2$
