Question
What will be the effect on inductive reactance XL and capacitive reactance XC if frequency of ac source is increased?
✓
Answer
The inductive reactance $\text{X}_{\text{L}}=\omega\text{L}=2\pi\text{vL}$ will increase with the increase of frequency v, while capacitive reactance $\text{X}_{\text{C}}=\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}=\frac{1}{2\pi\text{vC}}$ will decrease with the increase of frequency v.

Two transparent slabs having equal thickness but different refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ are pasted side by side to form a composite slab. This slab is placed just after the double slit in a Young's experiment so that the light from one slit goes through one material and the light from the other slit goes through the other material. What should be the minimum thickness of the slab so that there is a minimum at the point P0 which is equidistant from the slits?
