A polarizer - analyser set is adjusted such that the intensity of light coming out of the analyser is just 10% of the original intensity. Assuming that the polarizer - analyser set does not absorb any light, the angle by which the analyser needs to be rotated further, to reduce the output intensity to zero, is

Visible light of wavelength 6000×10-8cm falls normally on a single slit and produces a diffraction pattern. It is found that the second diffraction minimum is at 60o from the central maximum. If the first minimum is produced at θ1, then θ1 is close to

In a Young’s double slit experiment, the separation between the slits is 0.15 mm . In the experiment, a source of light of wavelength 589 nm is used and the interference pattern is observed on a screen kept 1.5 m away. The separation between the successive bright fringes on the screen is:

The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness t and refractive index μ is put in front of one of the slits, the central maximum gets shifted by a distance equal to n fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is λ then t will be:
