PART - IV : COMPREHENSION
Comprehension # 1
Huygen was the first scientist who proposed the idea of wave theory of light. He said that the light propagates
in form of wavefronts. A wavefront is an imaginary surface at every point of which waves are in the same
phase. For example the wavefronts for a point source of light is collection of concentric spheres which have
centre at the origin. w1 is a wavefront. w2 is another wavefront.

The radius of the wavefront at time ‘t’ is ‘ct’ in this case where ‘c’ is the speed of light. The direction of
propagation of light is perpendicular to the surface of the wavefront. The wavefronts are plane wavefronts in
case of a parallel beam of light.

Huygen also said that every point of the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets. The tangent
drawn to all secondary wavelets at a time is the new wavefront at that time. The wavelets are to be consid-
ered only in the forward direction (i.e. the direction of propagation of light) and not in the reverse direction. If
a wavefront w1 at time t is given, then to draw the wavefront at time t + t take some points on the wavefront
w1 and draw spheres of radius ‘ct’. They are called secondary wavelets.

Draw a surface w2 which is tangential to all these secondary wavelets. w2 is the wavefront at time
‘t + t’. Huygen proved the laws of reflection and laws of refraction using concept of wavefronts.

In the figure an arrangement of young's double slit experiment is shown. A parallel beam of light of
wavelength '' (in medium n1) is incident at an angle '' as shown. Distance S1O = S2O. Point 'O' is the
origin of the coordinate system. The medium on the left and right side of the plane of slits has refractive
index n1 and n2 respectively. Distance between the slits is d. The distance between the screen and the

4 10
plane of slits is D. Using D = 1m, d = 1mm,  = 30°,  = 0.3mm, n1 = , n2 = , answer the following
