INTERFERENCE

1. Explain the phenomena of interference. What are the necessary conditions for
producing sustained interference fringe pattern?
2. What are coherent sources? How are they obtained in practice?
3. Write the conditions to obtain interference fringe patterns with a thin parallel film.
4. Explain the theory and formation of wedge-shaped films. Obtain the expression for
fringe width in a wedge shaped thin film.
5. Give any two applications of wedge-shaped film.
6. Explain in brief the changes in the fringe pattern if the thickness of the obstacle placed
in a wedge-shaped film increases.
7. Derive the conditions for maxima and minima for interference in a thin film of uniform
thickness in reflected light.
8. Why thick films don’t show interference patterns?
9. Why soap bubble looks colourful when viewed in reflected white light?
10. What are Newton’s rings? Derive the conditions to get bright and dark rings.
11. Why a Plano-convex lens of large radius of curvature is used in Newton’s rings?
12. Why central spot in Newton’s ring is always dark?
13. Why rings become closure as we move away from the central spot in a Newton’s
rings setup?
14. In the Newton’s ring experiment prove that in reflected light the diameter of the dark
rings is proportional to the square root of its order number.
15. Describe the method for determination wavelength of light using Newton’s rings.
16. How can the refractive index of a liquid be determined using Newton’s rings? Explain
17. Explain the use of thin film as anti-reflection coating.
