Question 21: moderate

In the far field diffraction pattern of a single slit under polychromatic illumination, the first minima with the wavelength λ1 is found to be coincident with the third maximum at λ2. So :

1. 3λ1 = 0.3λ2
2. 3λ1 = λ2
3. λ1 = 3.5λ2
4. 0.3λ1 = 3λ2

Question 22: moderate

A single slit of width a is illuminated by violet light of wavelength 400 nm and the width of the diffraction pattern is measured as y. When half of the slit width is covered and illuminated by yellow light of wavelength 600 nm, the width of the diffraction pattern is :

1. The pattern vanishes and the width is zero
2. y/3
3. 3y
4. None of these

Question 23: moderate

Two polaroids are placed in the path of unpolarized beam of intensity I0 such that no light is emitted from the second polaroid. If a third polaroid whose polarization axis makes an angle θ with the polarization axis of first polaroid, is placed between these polaroids then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid will be :

1. \[\left( \frac{I_{0}}{8} \right)sin^{2} 2\theta\]
2. \[\left( \frac{I_{0}}{4} \right)sin^{2} 2\theta\]
3. \[\left( \frac{I_{0}}{2} \right)cos^{2} \theta\]
4. \[I_{0}cos^{4} \theta\]
