Paragraph for question nos. 71 and 72

Let us do the Young's double slit experiment with electron rather than light waves. We make an electron
gun which consists of a tungsten wire heated by an electric current and surrounded by a metal box with
a hole in it. If the wire is at negative potential w.r.t. the box, electron emitted by the wire (thermionic
emission) will be accelerated towards the walls and same will pass through the hole. All the electrons
coming out of this gun will have the same energy, qV. In front of gun there is a wall with two slits in it
as shown. Beyond the wall there is another plate which acts as a screen. The no. of electrons arriving at
the screen/area/time can be measured. When the graph of this is plotted with y coordinate on the screen,
we obtain the graph as seen in YDSE experiment. This can be explained using de broglie's hypothesis
which states that electrons also behave like waves.

112. The diagram shows a cuboidal container with a non-viscous liquid of nonuniform density but a uniform
refractive index m0. The height of container is 0.4 SI units and the density of liquid varies linearly
according to the relation :
r = r0(1 – 4y)
where r0 is a constant and y is the vertical distance measured from the midplane (ABPQ) of the container.
(y is positive when measured upward, and negative when measured downward).
There are two horizontal slits, covered with perfectly transparent films, in one of the vertical faces as
shown in the figure. A thin transparent strip of material having superficial dimensions equal to the slits
and thickness equal to d (volume V0) is released from rest from an initial depths below the mid-plane
(ABPQ) (i.e., from y = –s) close to the slits. The strip has a constant density r0, uniform refractive index
m(> m0) and it moves due to buoyancy keeping its plane parallel to the plane of the slits ; always remaining
very close to the plane of the slits.
Monochromatic plane wavefronts (of light) parallel to the plane of the slits enter into the liquid through
the face opposite the double-slit. The intensity of light is observed on the screen placed outside the
container parallel to the plane of the slits.
