MCQ
White light is split into a spectrum by a prism and it is seen on a screen. If we put another identical inverted prism behind it in contact, what will be seen on the screen?
  • A
    Violet will appear where red was
  • B
    The spectrum will remains same
  • C
    There will be no spectrum, but only the original light with no deviation
  • There will be no spectrum, but the original light will be laterally displaced

Answer

Correct option: D.
There will be no spectrum, but the original light will be laterally displaced
d
(d)

First prism separates white light into its constituent colours which are then recombined by the second inverted prism into white light.

As two prisms combinedly form a glass slab, light beam is deviated on a parallel path.

Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits $1 \,mm$ apart with a light source $(\lambda=632.8\, nm )$. The distance between the screen and the slits is $100\, cm$. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at a distance of $1.27\, mm$ from the central bright fringe, then the path difference between the waves, which are reaching this point from the slits is close to$....\mu m$
Two transparent media of refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_3$ have a solid lens shaped transparent material of refractive index $\mu_2$ between them as shown in figures in Column $II$. A ray traversing these media is also shown in the figures. In Column $I$ different relationships between $\mu_1, \mu_2$ and $\mu_3$ are given. Match them to the ray diagram shown in Column $II$.
