In Young's experiment, two coherent sources are placed 0.90 mm apart and the fringes are observed one metre away. If its produces the second dark fringe at a distance of 1 mm from the central fringe, the wavelength of monochromatic light used would be |
60 x 10<sup>-4</sup>cm
10 x 10<sup>-4</sup>cm
10 x 10<sup>-5</sup>cm
6 x 10<sup>-5</sup>cm

Light appears to travel in straight lines since |
It is not absorbed by the atmosphere
It is reflected by the atmosphere
Its wavelength is very small
Its velocity is very large
|
6 |
The twinkling of stars is due to |
The fact that stars do not emit light continuously
The refractive index of the earth's atmosphere fluctuate
Intermittent absorption of star light by its own atmosphere
None of these

A prism splits a beam of white light into its seven constituent colors. This is so because |
Phase of different colors is different
Amplitude of different colors is different
Energy of different colors is different
Velocity of different colors is different
|

A sun rise or sun set, the sun looks reddish because: |
The sun is coldest at these times
Of the effects of reflection and refraction
The sun is hottest at these times
Of the scattering of light
|
9 |
One cannot see fog because |
Fog absorbs light
The refractive index of fog is infinity
Light suffers total reflection at the droplet in a fog
Light is scattered by the droplet in fog
