34 Case Study :Constructive and Destructive Interference
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
When two light waves of the same frequency and having zero or constant phase difference
travelling in the same direction superpose each other, the intensity in the region of
superposition gets redistributed, becoming maximum at some points and minimum at others.
This phenomenon is called interference of light. The two sources of light are said to be coherent
only when the phase difference between the light waves produced by them is zero or constant.
The point at which two waves are in phase or if trough of one wave coincides with the trough
of other or crest of one wave coincides with the crest of other then the resultant intensity
produced at that point will be larger and amplitude also maximum. Such points are the points
where ‘constructive interference’ takes place. While there are some points where two light
waves are not in phase with each other and crest of one wave coincides with the trough of other
and vice versa due to which resultant intensity at that point is minimum and amplitude also get
decreased. Such points are the points where ‘destructive interference’ takes place. For
constructive interference, the path difference is equal to integral multiple of wavelengths and
resultant intensity will be maximum at that points. While for destructive interference, the path
difference is (n + 1/2) multiple of wavelengths and where resultant intensity is zero.

(a) Draw the light intensity distribution graph v/s path difference for interference pattern
obtained on a screen.
(b) Can two independent sources of light be coherent?
 (c) Write the conditions of constructive and destructive interference in terms of path difference

in following table:
Student Point P Point Q
Tarang Bright fringe Dark fringe
Dhairya Dark fringe Bright fringe
Rachna Dark fringe Dark fringe
Awastha Bright fringe Bright fringe
Which student inferences are correct and why?
35 Case Study: p-n junction diode 4
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
p-n junction is a semiconductor diode. It is obtained by bringing p-type semiconductor in close
contact with n-type semiconductor. A thin layer is developed at the p-n junction which is
devoid of any charge carrier but has immobile ions. It is called depletion layer. At the junction
a potential barrier appears which does not allow the movement of majority charge carriers
across the junction in the absence of any biasing of the junction. If p-side of p-n junction is
connected to positive terminals of external battery and n-side is connected to negative terminal
of external battery, then the p-n junction is said to be forward biased. If n-side of p-n junction is
connected to positive terminals of external battery and p-side is connected to negative terminal
of external battery, then the p-n junction is said to be reverse biased. The p-n junction diode
offers low resistance when forward biased and high resistance when reverse biased and
theoretically an ideal diode has zero resistance when forward biased and infinite resistance
when reverse biased.

(a) In the figure shown above, whether the diode forward biased or reverse biased?
(b) Find the current in the circuit shown in the figure. (Assuming the diode is ideal)
(c) Is the statement that “In a pn junction diode p-side of diode is positively charged and n-side
of diode is negatively charged” correct or incorrect. Explain.
OR
Draw a circuit diagram which can be used to show the arrangement of the setup used for taking

a pn junction thus obtained from such an arrangement.

Q.35. CaseStudy:
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
Transformers are classified in two categories – Step up transformer and step-down transformer. By using
the step-up transformer, we can increase the output voltage and decrease the output current. And by the
use of a step-down transformer we can decrease the output voltage and increase the output current.

Transformers are basically used at both transmitting as well as receiving ends of the power
transmission.Transformers are used at the power stations to reduce the transmission current and increase
the voltage to reduce the power losses as heat in the power cables.Transformers are used at the
distribution points to again reduce the high voltage to a safe domestic level voltage and increase the
current that is transmitted to our houses.

Other than this the transformer can be used to change the value of capacitor, inductor or resistor in an AC
circuit. It thus can act as an impedance transferring device.Transformers can also be used to prevent DC
current from passing from one circuit to another.

The power delivered by the transformer is equal to the
power supplied to the transformer which means 100%
efficiency.
There is no winding resistance & reactance, which
eliminates the copper losses inside a transformer.
There are no core losses i.e. there is no hysteresis loss or
eddy current loss.
There is no leakage flux; the entire magnetic flux is linked
through the core.
(iii) For a transformer, Vs/Vp=Ns/Np Vs/Vp=Ns/Np
where N denotes number of turns and V=voltage.
∴ Vs/220=10/20
∴ Vs=110acV
OR
(iii) The explanation: Given: Output power (Po) = 100 W;
Ip = 0.5 A; Vp = 250 V
Input power (Pi) = Vp × Ip
Pi = 250 × 0.5 = 125 W
Efficiency = (Output Power / Input Power) × 100%
Therefore, the efficiency of the transformer is 80%.

1. For surface A, the threshold frequency is more than 1015 HZ, 1
hence no photoemission is possible.
2. For surface B the threshold frequency is equal to the frequency of 1
given radiation. Thus, photo-emission takes place but kinetic
energy of photoelectrons is zero.
