a bright fringe is close to
a) 0.80 b) 0.74 c) 0.94d) 0.85
2) A small object lies at the bottom of a vessel filled with water (refractive
index 4/3) up to a height H. When viewed from a point above the
surface of water, the object appears raised by n percent of H. The
value of n is:
a) 15 b) 20 c) 25 d) 33
3) A plane wave is incident on a concave mirror of radius of curvature R.
The reflected wave is a spherical wave of radius :
a) R / 4 b) R / 2 c) R d) 2R
4) A thin concave lens of focal length 2f is put in contact with a thin
convex lens of focal length f. The focal length of the combination will
be :
a) 2f b) f/2 c) -f d) f
5) ASSERTION: In an interference pattern observed in Young's double slit
experiment, if the separation (d) between coherent sources as well as
the distance (D) of the screen from the coherent sources both are
reduced to 1/3rd, then new fringe width remains the same.
REASON: Fringe width is proportional to (d/D).
SECTION B: TWO MARKS QUESTIONS

be affected? Give reason for your answer.
