Before answering the questims, candidates shoidd ensure that they have been supplied the correct and complete question paper. No complaint in this regard, will be entertained after examination.
Note: Attempt five questions in all. Question No. 1 is compulsory and select one question from each Unit. All questions carry equal marks.
1. (c What do you mean by modal dispersion ?
(bj/'Discuss differences between Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction.
(c) What is meant by specific rotation ?
(d What are inverse Lorentz transformation equations ?
(e/f! the kinetic energy of a body is twice its rest mass'energy, find its velocity.
($/*What do you mean by population inversion ?
Fresnel's Biprism.
(fcO For a dielectric the value of dielectric constant is ' 1.329, calculate its electric susceptibility (%e).
(i) Calculate the minimum thickness of a quarter wave plate of calcite for X = 5460A, the
bifringence of the plate (jae (a0) being 0.172.
(0/why sound wave is easily diffracted but light will not diffract in daily life ? 2 x 10 = 20
UNIT-I
2. (a) Explain the formation of interference fringes in a
Michelson interferometer. Discuss its important applications. 15
(b)' A thin plate is introduced in the path of one of the
_________beams of light in Michelson interferometer and it
is found that 50 bands have crossed the line of observation. If wavelength of light is 5896 A and fj, = 1.4' determinethe thickness of the plate. 5
4. (a) jpescribe a Nicol's prisms, showing clearly how it
is constructed and what is its action. 15
