प्रश्न

Two monochromatic rays of light are incident normally on the face AB of an isosceles right-angled prism ABC. The refractive indices of the glass prism for the two rays '1' and '2' are respectively 1.3 and 1.5. Trace the path of these rays after entering the prism.

उत्तर

Critical angle of ray 1:

`sin(c_1)=1/mu_1=1/1.3`

`=>c_1=sin^(-1)(1/1.3)=50.35^@`

Similarly, critical angle of ray 2:

`sin(c_2)=1/mu_0=1/1.52`

`=>c_2=sin^(-1)(1/1.52)=41.14^@`

Both the rays will fall on the side AC with angle of incidence (i) equal to 45°. Critical angle of ray 1 is greater than that of i. Hence, it will emerge from the prism as shown in the figure. Critical angle of ray 2 is less than that of i. Hence, it will be internally reflected as shown in the figure

When monochromatic light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, explain the following, giving reasons:

(i) Is the frequency of reflected and refracted light same as the frequency of incident light?

(ii) Does the decrease in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by light wave?


When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, why does the refracted light have the same frequency as that of the incident light?

State with reason, how the linear width of the central maximum will be affected if
(i) monochromatic yellow  light is replaced with red light, and

Find the angle of incidence at which a ray of monochromatic light should be incident on the first surface AB of a regular glass prism ABC so that the emergent ray grazes the adjacent surface AC. (Refractive Index of glass = 1 .56)


Answer the following question.
In the diffraction due to a single slit experiment, the aperture of the slit is 3 mm. If monochromatic light of wavelength 620 nm is incident normally on the slit, calculate the separation between the first order minima and the 3rd order maxima on one side of the screen. The distance between the slit and the screen is 1.5 m.


Using the monochromatic light of the wavelength in the experimental set-up of the diffraction pattern as well as in the interference pattern where the slit separation is 1 mm, 10 interference fringes are found to be within the central maximum of the diffraction pattern. Determine the width of the single slit, if the screen is kept at the same distance from the slit in the two cases.


Assertion(A): The photoelectrons produced by a monochromatic light beam incident on a metal surface have a spread in their kinetic energies.

Reason(R): The energy of electrons emitted from inside the metal surface, is lost in collision with the other atoms in the metal.
