Question
Monochromatic light waves of intensities $l_1$ and $l_2$ and a constant phase difference $\varphi$ produce an interference pattern. State an expression for the resultant intensity at a point in the pattern. Hence deduce the expressions for the resultant intensity, maximum intensity and minimum intensity if $I _1= I _2= I _0$

An alternating emf is applied to a CR circuit. Obtain an expression for the phase difference between the emf and the current. Also obtain the expression for the effective resistance of the cir-cuit. Assume the capacitor and resistor to be ideal. Draw the phasor diagram showing the emf and current.
Two identical metal beads, each of mass $M$ but negligible width, can slide along a thin smooth uniform horizontal rod of mass $M$ and length $L$. The rod is capable of rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. Initially, the beads are almost touching the axis of rotation and the rod is rotating at speed of $14 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$. Find the angular speed of the system when the beads have moved up to the ends of the rod. (Assume that no external torque acts on the system.)
