In a Fraunhofer diffraction experiment, a single slit of width 0.5 mm is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength 600 nm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at a distance of 50 cm from the slit. What will be the linear separation of the first order minima?

A plane polarised light is passed through successive polarisers which are rotated by 30° with respect to each other in the clockwise direction. Neglecting absorption by the polarisers and given that the first polariser's axis is parallel to the plane of polarisation of the incident light, the intensity of light at the exit of the fifth polariser is closest to,

Two beams, A and B of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam A has maximum intensity (and beam B has zero intensity), a rotation of polaroid through 30o makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are IA and IB respectively, then I A I B  equals :

Unpolarized light of intensity I passes through an ideal polariser A. Another identical polariser B is placed behind A. The intensity of light beyond B is found to be I2. Now another identical polariser C is placed between A and B. The intensity beyond B is now found to be I8 . The angle between polariser A and C is

Three polaroid sheets P1, P2 and P3 are kept parallel to each other such that the angle between pass axes of P1 and P2 is 45° and that between P2 and P3 is 45°. If unpolarised beam of light of intensity 128 W m-2 is incident on P1. What is the intensity of light coming out of P3 ?

Two circular linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is 30° from the vertical while the second one is at 60°, both in the clockwise sense. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity, I=20 W m-2 is incident on this pair of polarisers, then the intensities I1 and I2 transmitted by the first and the second polarisers, respectively, will be close to,
