Interference is observed with two identical coherent sources. The intensity of the waves at a point of constructive interference is . What is the intensity when one source is removed?


Important Questions on Waves


Travelling waves of wavelength are created in a closed-open pipe of length and an open-open pipe of length . In which pipe or pipes will a standing wave be formed?



Partially polarised light is a combination of completely unpolarised light and light that is polarised. Partially polarised light is transmitted through a polariser. As the polariser is rotated by , the ratio of the maximum to the minimum transmitted intensity is .
Determine the fraction of the beam's intensity that is due to the polarised light.


In a two-slit experiment, red light is incident on two parallel slits. The light is observed on a screen far from the slits. The graph shows how the intensity of the light on the screen varies with distance from M.
The distance to the screen is 3.2 m and the separation of the slits is 0.39 mm.Determine the wavelength of light(in)?
