Huygens' wave theory allows us to know the:
| 1. | wavelength of the wave. |
| 2. | velocity of the wave. |
| 3. | amplitude of the wave. |
| 4. | propagation of the wavefront. |
By Huygen's wave theory of light, we cannot explain the phenomenon of:
| 1. | Interference |
| 2. | Diffraction |
| 3. | Photoelectric effect |
| 4. | Polarisation |
When the light diverges from a point source, the shape of the wavefront is:
1. Parabolic
2. Plane
3. Spherical
4. Elliptical
| (a) | Find the velocity of light in a vacuum. |
| (b) | Explain the particle behaviour of light. |
| (c) | Find the new position of a wavefront. |
| (d) | Explain Snell's law. |
| 1. | (a) and (b) only |
| 2. | (b) and (c) only |
| 3. | (c) and (d) only |
| 4. | all of the above |
A light wave can travel:
| (a) | in vacuum |
| (b) | in vacuum only |
| (c) | in a material medium |
| (d) | in a material medium only |
| 1. | (a) and (b) only |
| 2. | (b) and (c) only |
| 3. | (a) and (c) only |
| 4. | (c) and (d) only |
The wavefronts of a light wave travelling in vacuum are given by \(x+y+z=c\). The angle made by the direction of propagation of light with the X-axis is:
1. \(0^{\circ}\)
2. \(45^{\circ}\)
3. \(90^{\circ}\)
4. \({\cos^{-1}\left({1}/{\sqrt{3}}\right )}\)
