Two coherent plane light waves of equal amplitude makes a small angle $\alpha (<<1)$ with each other. They fall almost normally on a screen. If $\gamma $ is the wavelength of light waves, the fringe width $\Delta x$ of interference patterns of the two sets of wave on the screen is
What is the amplitude of resultant wave, when two waves $y _1=A _1\sin (\omega t-B _1)$ and $y _2=A _2\sin (\omega t-B _2)$ superimpose ?
An isotropic point source emits light. A screen is situated at a given distance. If the distance between sources and screen is decreased by $2\%$, illuminance will increase by:
The path difference between two wavefronts emitted by coherent sources of wavelength 5460 $\overset{o}{A}$ is 2.1 micron. The phase difference between the wavefronts at that point is
Two light rays having the same wavelength $\lambda$ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first ray travels a path ${L} _{1}$ through a medium of refractive index ${n} _{1}$ while the second ray travels a path of length ${L} _{2}$ through a medium of refractive index ${n} _{2}$. The two waves are then combined to produce interference. The phase difference between the two waves is:
Electrons accelerated from rest by an electrostatic potential are collimated and sent through a Young's double slit setup. The figure width is w. If the accelerating potential is doubled then the width is now close to.
Which of the following statement is incorrect about the Raman effect?
Which one is not produced by sound waves in air?
A point source of monochromatic light is situated at the centre of a circle, what is the phase difference between the light waves passing through the end points of any diameter
An unpolarised light of intensity $32 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} $ passes through three polarisers, such that the transmission axis of last polarizer is perpendicular with the first. If the intensity of emergent light is $3 \mathrm{Wh} $ Im $ ^{2} $ then the angle between the transmission axes of the first two polarisers is:
