A ray of light of intensity I is incident on a parallel glass-slab at a point A as shown in figure. It undergoes partial reflection and refraction. At each reflection 20% of incident energy is refracted. The rays AB and A'B' undergo interference. The ratio of ImaxImin is x:1. Write the value of x.

In a double-slit experiment, fringes are produced using light of wavelength 4800 A°. One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index 1.4 and the other slit by another plate of glass of double thickness and of refractive index 1.7. On doing so, the central bright fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the fifth bright fringe from the centre. Find the thickness of the second plates (in μm)

In a two-slit experiment with monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved by 5×10-2 m towards the slits, the change in fringe width is 3×10-5 m. If the distance between the slits is 10-3 m, calculate the wavelength of the light used (in A°).

A thin glass plate of thickness t and refractive index μ is inserted between screen and one of the slits in a Young's experiment. If the intensity at the centre of the screen is I, what was the intensity at the same point prior to the introduction of the sheet.
Express your answer as Icos2k(μ-1)tλ and find the value of k.

Two identical monochromatic light sources A&B intensity 10-15 W m2 produce wavelength of light 40003 A°. A glass of thickness 3 mm is placed in the path of the ray as shown in figure. The glass has a variable refractive index n=1+x where x (in mm) is distance of plate from left to right. Calculate total intensity at focal point F of the lens.

Two slits S1 and S2 on the x-axis and symmetric with respect to y-axis are illuminated by a parallel monochromatic light beam of wavelength λ. The distance between the slits is d(>>λ). Point M is the mid point of the line S1 S2 and this point is considered as the origin. The slits are in horizontal plane. The interference patten is observed on a horizontal plate (acting as screen) of mass M, which is attached to one end of a vertical spring of spring constant K. The other end of the spring is fixed to ground. At t=0 the plate is at a distance D(>>d) below the plane of slits and the spring is in its natural length. The plate is left from rest from its initial position. Find the x and y co-ordinates of the nth   maxima on the plate as a function of time. Assume that spring is light and plate always remains horizontal.
