This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Explanation- angular resolution of the eye? = 5.8 x 10-4

linear distance between two dots is l= 2.54/300=0.84 × 10-2cm

? = l/z

z=l/? = 0.84 × 10 - 2 5.8 × 10 - 4 = 14.5cm

Explanation- As we know that the frequencies of sound waves lie between 20 Hz to 20 kHz so that their wavelength ranges between 15 m to 15 mm. The diffraction occur if the wavelength of waves is nearly equal to slit width.

As the wa

Explanation-
We know that the sun is at very large distance from the earth. Assuming sun as spherical, it can be considered as point source situated at infinity. Due to the large distance the radius of wavefront can be considered a

This is a Long Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Explanation- as the refractive index of the class μ , the path difference will be calculated as ? x =2dsin θ +( μ - 1 )L

For principal maxima ,(path difference is zero)

2dsin θ 0+( μ - 1 )L=0

Sin θ 0= - L ( μ - 1 ) 2 d = - L ( 0.5 ) 2 d

Sin θ 0=-1/16

OP=Dtan θ 0= Dsin θ 0=-D/16

For p

This is a Long Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Explanation- when polariser is not used

A=Aperp+A

letA1= asinwt and A2=asin(wt+ ∅ )

now superposition principle for perpendicular polariser

AR= asinwt+ asin(wt+ ∅ )

AR=a(2cos ∅ / 2 sin(wt+ ∅ ))

AR=2acos ∅ / 2  sin(wt+ ∅ )

This eqn is also same for
