(a) Discuss propagation of EM Waves in a conducting and Non conducting medium CO2 [K2] (1
14 (a) i) Give an account of Maxwell’s equation in free space. Apply the equations to deduce CO2 [K3] (1
the E.M. wave equation and determine the velocity of light in vacuum.
ii) Light of wavelength 6000Å falls normally on a thin wedge film of refractive CO3 [K3] (0
index µ=1.4 forming fringes that are 2mm apart. Find the angle of the wedge.
(OR)
(a) Explain Doppler’s principle. Calculate the apparent pitch of a note due to the motion CO3 [K3] (0
of source and the listener
(b) Discuss Doppler’s effect in sound and obtain an expression for the apparent frequency CO3 [K3] (0
of the note when the source and the listener are
(i) moving towards each other, and
(ii )moving away from each other.
15 (a) i) Describe the construction of a Michelson’s interferometer and discuss the CO3 [K3] (0
different types of interference fringes formed in it.
ii) Explain the formation of interference fringes in an air-wedge shaped film. How CO3 [K3] (0
is the thickness of the wire determined by this method?.
