  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    Diffraction pattern cannot be observed with:

    Solutions

    For diffraction , the width of the slit must be less than the wavelength of the incident ray.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    Diffraction of light gives the information of:

    Solutions

    Diffraction of light  takes place for all types of waves  transverse orlongitudinal .

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    In a single slit experiment, suppose the slit width is equal to the wavelength of light used, then: 

    Solutions

    This is because for maximum diffraction the slit width always equals to the wavelength of light.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident on a slit of width 0.1 mm. The width of the central bright line on the screen is 2m. What is the distance of the screen?​

    Solutions

    Beta(central Maxima) = 2 * lambda * D(distance of the screen) / d(distance between slits)
    beta = 2 m, wavelength = 500nm = 5 ×10-7 m &d = 0.1mm = 1 ×10-4 m
    ►2 = 2 ×5 ×10-7  * D/10-4
    ►1 = 5 ×10-3 D  
    ►D = 1000/5
    ► D = 200m

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    The phenomenon of diffraction can take place in sound waves?

    Solutions

    • Yes, sound waves are longitudinal, meaning that they oscillate parallel to the direction of their motion. So diffraction takes place in the sound waves.
    • Since there is no component of a sound wave 's oscillation that is perpendicular to its motion, sound waves cannot be polarized .

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    What is the angular spread of the first minimum and the central maximum when diffraction is observed with 540 nm light through a slit of width 1mm?​

    Solutions

    The First minimum is located at the place where the central maximum ends. And the first minimum spreads further upto half the fringe width.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    The change in the diffraction pattern of a single slit, when the monochromatic source of light is replaced by a source of white light will be:

    Solutions

    • When a source of white light is used instead of a monochromatic source, the diffracted image of the slit gets dispersed into constituent colours of white light.
    • The central maximum will be white and on either side of the central maximum, there will be coloured fringes.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    The diffraction of light is not easily noticed if:

    Solutions

    Actually, diffraction occurs all the time. But when the aperture/wavelength ratio is large , the spacing between fringes becomes too small, and the diffractive effects areunnoticeable .

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    In the diffraction of a single slit experiment, if the slit width is half then the width of the central maxima will be:

    Solutions

    Fringe width is inversely proportional to the distance between slits so it will be  doubled.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Which of the following undergoes the largest diffraction?

    Solutions

    • Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as visible light, X-rays and radio waves. For the diffraction of wave, an obstacle or aperture of the size of the wavelength of the wave is needed.
    • Since the wavelength of the radio waves is large and comparable with the size of the obstacles around which they bend. So it shows maximum diffraction .
