Explanation- velocity of a freely falling body is v= $\sqrt[]{2gh}$

And $\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{h}{m\sqrt[]{2gh}}$

$\lambda =h$ ^-1

Answer- (a, b)

Explanation- Due to the point source light propagates in all directions symmetrically and hence, wavefront will be spherical as shown in the diagram.

If power of the source is P, then intensity of the source will be I= p/4 $\pi r$ ²

 where, r is radius of the wavefront at anytime.

Answer- (a, b)

Explanation- (a) When a decreases w increases. So, size decreases.

(b) Now, light energy is distributed over a small area and intensity∝1/Area  is decreasing so intensity increases

Practicing the NCERT Exemplar problems helps in deepening the conceptual understanding of Chapter 4. These questions are designed to test the conceptual application and higher-order thinking. The solutions are given by the subject matter experts of Shiksha and practicing these strengthens the understanding of key topics like Biot–Savart law, magnetic forces, and Ampere's circuital law. It provides exam-oriented practice and students can score high in the CBSE Board exam and in entrance exams like NEET and JEE exams.

Answer – (b, d)

Explanation- We know that wavelength of sunlight ranges from 4000 Å to 8000 Å.

Clearly, wavelength λ < width of the slit.

Hence, light is diffracted from the hole. Due to diffraction from the slight the image formed On the screen will be different from the geometrical image.

Answer- (a, b, d)

Explanation-Consider the pattern of the intensity shown in the figure

(i) As intensities of all successive minima is zero, hence we can say that two sources S₁ and S₂ are having same intensities.

(ii) As width of the successive maxima (pulses) increases in continuous manner, we can say that the path difference (x) or phase difference varies in continuous manner.

(iii) We are using monochromatic light in YDSE to avoid overlapping and to have very clear pattern on the screen.

Answer- d

Explanation- According to question, there is a hole at point P₂. From Huygen's principle, wave will propagates from the sources S₁ and S₂. Each point on the screen will acts as secondary sources of wavelets. Now, there is a hole at point P₂ (minima). The hole will act as a source of fresh light for the slits S₃ and S₄.

Therefore, there will be a regular two slit pattern on the second screen

Answer – (c)

Explanation- For the interference pattern to be formed on the screen, the sources should be coherent and emits lights of same frequency and wavelength. In a Young's double-slit experiment, when one of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case due to filteration only red and blue lights are present. In YDSE monochromatic light is used for the formation of fringes on the screen. Hence, in this case there shall be no interference fringes.
