Top Questions on Wave optics
- In a double slit experiment, the two slits are 1.5 mm apart. The slits are illuminated by a mixture of lights of wavelengths of 600 nm and 400 nm, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen 1.5 m away from the slits. Find the minimum distance of the point from the central maximum at which bright fringes of the interference patterns of the two wavelengths coincide.

- A physics teacher wants to demonstrate interference with the help of double slit experiment using a laser beam of 633 nm wavelength. Since the hall is large enough, interference pattern is formed on the wall 5.0 m from the slits. For clear and comfortable view by all the students they want the fringe width 5 mm.

Concepts Used:
Polarisation
Light travels in form of transverse EM waves. The underlying oscillation is along directions perpendicular to the propagation direction, in this example, oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Process of restricting the vibration of light waves to one direction is known as Polarisation.
Types of Polarisation:
There are three types of polarisation such as:
- Linear Polarisation in the electric field of light is limited to one single plane that is along the direction of propagation.
- Elliptical Polarisation: In this, both the phase difference and amplitude between the two linear components are not equal.
- Circular Polarisation: The electric field of light follows a circular propagation. The two linear components that exist in the electric field are the same amplitudes but have different phase differences.
Methods of Polarisation of Light:
The few methods of polarisation of Light are:
- Polarization by dispersing
- Polarization by Reflection
- Polarization by Refraction
- Polarization By Transfer
