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 ofsuch that the first minima on the screen fall at a distance D from the centre O.

Consider a Two Slit Interference Arrangements
Ans:
Minima will occur when
If

A Two Slit Arrangement a Source Emits Unpolarised Light
