Q: Explain the difference between refraction and rarefaction.

A: The objective of the question is to understand the difference between two physical phenomena:…

Q: Why would you use a laser in interference experiments?

A: in interference experiment laser is prefered over conventional sources of light . in interference…

Q: When white light is shone on red ink dried on a glass plate, the color that is transmitted is red.…

A: A white light has all seven colors (VIBGYOR) and thus all seven colors hits the plane of the glass.…

Q: Fingerprints left on a piece of glass such as a windowpane can show colored spectra like that from a…

A: the fingerprints on a piece of glass acts like a diffraction grating because they are opaque to the…

Q: What is medical application of Refraction of Light (Glass Block) ? and explain it ?

A:

Q: Discuss and illustrate the Superposition Principle, and the types of interference.

A: To explain: Superposition principle and types of interference.

Q: How can diffraction be reduced for long distance transmission of laser beams or microwave signals?

A: This is a problem related to the diffraction of beams or microwaves. When the diffraction occurred…

Q: Why is it so much easier to perform interference experiments with a laser than with an ordinary…

A: Step 1 The laser light is monochromatic and highly coherent. This means that all the photons behave…

Q: What are the characteristics of coherent interference?

A: The sources with similar frequency and fixed phase difference are termed as coherent sources, such…

Q: Why are interference colors more apparent for thin films than for thick films?

A:

Q: The colors on a thin film such as an oil slick are caused by which TWO of the following optical…

A: Refraction is the bending of the light when light moves from one medium to another.  Diffraction is…

Q: Differentiate between the two interference types.

A:

Q: Give two practical applications of reflection of sound waves.

A: (1) Reflection of sound is used to measure the distance and speed of underwater objects. This method…

Q: Why does light from two bulbs not form a interference pattern?

A:

A: Question: You may often refer to "blue sky" without considering why it has that color.  The answer a…

Q: Interference

A: Interference: The interference occurs when the two waves interact and due to the superposition…

Q: Suppose a feather appears green but has no green pigment. Explain in terms of diffraction.

A: To find out why would a feather appear green even if it doesn't have any green pigment.
