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 2
where, r is radius of the wavefront at anytime.

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.
