Tutorial Sheet (Interference)
1. If in an interference pattern, the ratio between maximum and minimum intensities
is 36:1, find the ratio between the amplitude and intensities of the two interfering waves.
Ans: 7:5, 49:25
2 Two identical coherent waves produced interference pattern. Find the ratio of intensity at the centre of a bright fringe to the intensity at a point one quarter of the distance between two fringes from the centre. Ans: 2:1 3. Two coherent sources of intensity ratio 9:1 interfere. Prove that in the interference pattern, (Imax- Imin ) / (Imax + Imin) = 3/5 4. A reflected light of wavelength 5890 Å falls normally on a thin air film. Calculate the minimum thickness of the film such that the film appears (i) dark and(ii) bright in reflected light. 5. A soap film of refractive index 1.43 is illuminated by white light incident at an angle of 30 degrees. The reflected light is examined and dark bands for wavelength 6000 Ǻ are observed. Calculate the thickness of the film. 6. In Newton’s rings experiment the diameter of 4th dark rings is 0.400 cm. Deduce the diameter of 20th dark ring. [0.906 cm] 7.Light containing two wavelengths λ1 and λ2 falls normally on a Planoconvex lensof radius of curvature R resting on a plane glass plate. If nth dark ring due to λ1 coincides with (n+1)th 12 R dark ring due to λ2 then prove that the radius of nth dark ring of wavelength λ1 is (1 2 )
