Short Answer

Q 16 Can reflection result in plane polarized light if the light is incident on the interface from the side with higher refractive index?

Ans:

  • Polarization by reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is the Brewster՚s angle i.e.. where .
  • When light travels in such a medium the critical angle is where
  • As for large angles, .
  • Thus, polarization by reflection shall definitely occur.

Q 17 For the same objective, find the ratio of the least separation between two points to be distinguished by a microscope for light of and electrons accelerated through used as the illuminating substance.

Ans:

Where ∴ is the angle subtended by the objective at the object.

For light of

For electrons accelerated through 100V the deBroglie wavelength is

Q 18 Consider a two slit interference arrangements (Fig.) such that the distance of the screen from the slits is half the distance between the slits. Obtain the value of D in terms of such that the first minima on the screen fall at a distance D from the centre O.
