Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Wave Optics, Exercise 1: Exercise 1

The length of the optical path of two media in contact of length $d_1$ and $d_2$ of refractive indices ${\mu }_1$ and ${\mu }_2$, respectively, is

A thin film of water $(\mu =\frac{4}{3})$ is $3100 \AA$ thick. If it is illuminated by white light at normal incidence. The colour of film in the reflected light will be

In the YDSE shown the two slits are covered with thin sheets having thickness $t \text{\&} 2t$ and refractive index $2\mu$ and $\mu .$ Find the position $\left(y\right)$ of central maxima

Unpolarized light of intensity $x$ is incident on a polarising sheet. Intensity of light which does not get transmitted is

Through which character we can differentiate between light waves and sound waves

Which of the following waves cannot be polarised?

A monochromatic unpolarised light of wavelength $\lambda =600 \mathrm{nm}$ is incident from air on a plane surface of a medium at an angle of incidence $53°$ and it is found that the reflected light becomes completely plane polarised. The wavelength of refracted light in the medium is

In context of Doppler's effect in light, the term 'red shift' signifies
