A monochromatic beam of light is used for the formation of fringes on the screen by illuminating the two slits in the Young's double slit interference experiment. When a thin film of mica is interposed in the path of one of the interfering beams then
the fringe width increases
the fringe width decreases
the fringe width remains the same but the pattern shifts
the fringe pattern disappears
An object is immersed in fluid. In order that the object becomes invisible, it should
behave as perfect reflector
absorb all light falling on it
have refractive index one
have refractive index exactly matching with that of the surrounding fluid
Carbon dating is best suited for determining the age of fossils if their age in years is of the order of
108

An endoscope is employed by a physician to view the internal parts of a body organ. It is based on the principle of
refraction
reflection
total internal reflection
dispersion
We wish to see inside an atom. Assuming the atom to have a diameter of 100 pm, this means that one must be able to resolve a width of say 10 pm. If an electron microscope is used, the minimum electron energy required is about
1.5 keV
15 keV
150 keV
1.5 keV
When a compact disc is illuminated by a source of white light, coloured lines are observed. This is due to
dispersion
diffraction
interference
refraction
The dependence of binding energy per nucleon, BA on the mass number A, is represented by
A.
The graph showing that greater the binding energy per nucleon, the more stable the nucleus is. The graph has its maximum of 8. MeV/nucleon when the number nucleons is 56. The nucleus that has 56 protons and neutron is , an iron isotope. This is the most stable nucleus of them all, since maximum energy is needed to pull a nucleon away from it.
A Ge specimen is doped with Al. The concentration of acceptor atoms is ∼ 1021 atoms/m3. Given that the intrinsic concentration of electron-hole pairs is ∼ 1019/m3, the concentration of electrons in the speimen is
1017/m3
1015/m3
104/m3
102/m3
Assertion: A red object appears dark in the yellow light.
Reason: The red colour is scattered less.
