Light of wavelength `5000Å` falls on a plane reflecting surface. What are the wavelength and frequency of reflected light ? For what angle of incidence is the reflected ray normal to the incident ray ? |
Answer» wavelength of incident `Å = 5000 xx10^(-10)` m Speed of light `C=3xx10^(8)` m Freuency of incident light is given by the relation , `V=( C)/(lamda)` `=(3xx10^(8))/(5000xx10^(-10))=6xx10^(14)` Hz the wavelength and frequency of indent light is the same as that of refected ray. Hence the wavelrngth of reflected light is 5000 `Å` and its frequancy is `6xx10^(14)` Hz . When reflected , angle r is `90^(@)` Accoding to the law of reflection , the angle of incidence is alwayes equal to the angle of reflection , Hence we can write the sum as : angle i+ angle r =90 angle i + angle i =90 angle `=(90)/(2) = 45^(@)` therefore , the angle of incldence for the given consition is `45^(@)` |

A diffraction grating is ruled with 600 lines per millimetre. When monochromatic light falls normally on the grating, the first order diffracted beams are observed on the far side of the grating each making an angle of `15^@` with the normal to the grating. What is the frequency of the light?A. (a) `1.2xx10^(13)Hz`B. (b) `4.7xx10^(13)Hz`C. (c) `1.9xx10^(14)Hz`D. (d) `7.0xx10^(14)Hz` |
Answer» Correct Answer - D The angle of diffraction `theta_n` for nth order diffraction pattern of the light is given by `dsin theta_n=nlambda` where d=spacing between adjacent slits in diffraction grating `=10^-1/600m` n=1 for first-order diffracted beam. `theta_1=15^@` `implies(dsintheta_1)/(1)=(10^-3)/(600)sin15^@=4.3xx10^-7m` Thus frequency of light, `f=c/lambda=(3xx10^8)/(4.3xx10^-7)=7.0xx10^(14)Hz`. |
