Question

  1. Central bright fringe is of maximum intensity and the intensity of any secondary bright fringe decreases with increase in its order.
  2. Central bright fringe is twice as wide as any other secondary bright or dark fringe.
  1. A single slit of width $0.1\ mm$ is illuminated by a parallel beam oftight of wavelength $6000\mathring{\text{A}}$ and diffraction bands are observed on a screen $0.5\ m$ from the slit. The distance of the third dark band from the central bright band is:
  1. Should be $\frac{\lambda}{2}$, where $\lambda$, is the wavelength.
  2. Should be of the order of wavelength.
  3. Has no relation to wavelength.
  4. Should be much larger than the wavelength.
  5. To observe diffraction, the size of the obstacle.
  6. Bands disappear
  7. Bands become broader and farther apart
  8. No change will take place
  9. Diffraction bands become narrower and crowded together.
  10. A diffraction pattem is obtained by using a beam of red light. What will happen, if the red light is replaced by the blue light?
  11. $6 \times 10^{-3}$ rad
  12. $4 \times 10^{-3}$ rad
  13. $2.4 \times 10^{-3}$ rad
  14. $4.5 \times 10^{-3}$ rad
  15. Light of wavelength $600\ nm$ is incident normally on a slit of width $0.2mm$. The angular width of central maxima in the diffraction pattern is $($measured from minimum to minimum$).$
  16. $10^{-1}m$
  17. $10^{-2}m$
  18. $2 \times 10^{-2}m$
  19. $2 \times 10^{-1}m$
  20. ln Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, slit width is $0.2\ mm$ and screen is at $2\ m$ away from the lens. If wavelength of tight used is $5000\mathring{\text{A}}$ then the distance between the first minimum on either side the central maximum is:
  21. $3\ mm$
  22. $1.5\ mm$
  23. $9\ mm$
  24. $4.5\ mm$

Answer

  1.  $9\ mm$
Here, $\text{d} = 0.1 \text{ mm},\lambda= 6000 \mathring{\text{A}}, \text{D}=0.5\text{m}$
For third dark band, $\text{d}\sin\theta=3\lambda\ ;\ \sin\theta=\frac{3\lambda}{\text{d}}=\frac{\text{y}}{\text{D}}$
$\text{y}=\frac{3\text{D}\lambda}{\text{d}}=\frac{3\times0.5\times6\times10^{-7}}{0.1\times10^{-3}}$
$=9\times10^{-3}\text{m}=9\text{ mm}$
  1.  $10^{-2}m$
Given $d = 0.2\ mm = 0.2 \times 10^{-3}m, D = 2m$
$\lambda=5000\mathring{\text{A}}=5\times10^{-7}\text{m}$
The distance between the first minimum on other side of the central maximum
$\text{x}=\frac{2\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}=\frac{2\times5\times10^{-7}\times2}{0.2\times10^{-3}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=10^{-2}\text{m}$
  1. $ 6 \times 10^{-3}$ rad
Here, $\lambda=600\text{ nm}=6\times10^{-7}\text{m}$
$\text{a}=0.2\text{ mm}=2\times10^{-4}\text{m},\theta=?$
Angular width of central maxima,
$\theta=\frac{2\lambda}{\text{a}}=\frac{2\times6\times10^{-7}}{2\times10^{-4}}=6\times10^{-3}\text{rad}$
  1.  Diffraction bands become narrower and crowded together.
When red light is replaced by blue light $(\lambda_\text{B}<\lambda_\text{R})$ the diffraction pattern bands becomes narrow and crowded together.
  1.  Should be of the order of wavelength.
To observe diffraction, the size of the obstacle should be of the order of wavelength.

A galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable resistance $R,$ in series with the galvanometer, whose value is given by, $\text{R}_\text{s}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}_\text{g}}-\text{G}$
where vis the voltage to be measured, $lg$ is the current for full scale deflection of galvanometer and $G$ is the resistance of galvanometer.

Series resistor$(R,)$ increases range of voltmeter and the effective resistance of galvanometer. It also protects the galvanometer from damage due to large current. Voltmeter is a high resistance instrument and it is always connected in parallel with the circuit element across which potential difference is to be measured. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. In order to increase the range of voltmeter $n$ times the value of resistance to be connected in series with galvanometer is $R_s = (n - 1)G.$
