Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following has/have zero average value in a plane electromagnetic wave?
Which of the following statement is false for the properties of electromagnetic waves?
The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by
$\vec{E} = E _0 \dfrac{\hat{i} + \hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}} \cos (kz + \omega t)$
At $t = 0$, a positively charged particle is at the point $(x, y , z) = \left(0, 0 , \dfrac{\pi}{k} \right)$. If its instantaneous velocity at $(t = 0)$ is $v _0 \hat{k}$, the force acting on it due to the wave is :
The Schrodinger equation for a free electron of mass m and energy E written in terms of the wave function $\psi $ is $\frac{d^2\psi}{dx^2}+\frac{8 \pi ^2mE}{h^2}\psi =0$. The dimensions of the coefficient $\psi$ of in the second term must be
Blue light of wavelength $480\ nanometers$, is most strongly reflected off a thin film of oil on a glass slide, when viewed near normal incidence. Assuming that the index of refraction of the oil is $1.2$ and that of the glass is $1.6$, what is the minimum thickness of the oil film (other than zero)?
When light is refracted into a denser medium,
