A uniform thin rope of length 12 m and mass 6 kg hangs vertically from a rigid support and a block of mass 2 kg is attached to its free end. A transverse short wave-train of wavelength 6 cm is produced at the lower end of the rope. What is the wavelength of the wave train (in cm) when it reaches the top of the rope?

Option 1 - 6

Option 2 - 12

Option 3 - 3

Option 4 - 9

Correct Option - 2

Detailed Solution:

At lower end
Tension, T? = 2g = 20 N (due to the 2 kg block)
Velocity, v? = √ (T? /μ) = √ (20/μ)
Wavelength, λ? = 6 cm

At upper end
Tension, T? = (2 kg + 6 kg)g = 8g = 80 N (due to the block and the rope)
Velocity, v? = √ (T? /μ) = √ (80/μ) = √4 * √ (20/μ) = 2v?

Since frequency (f) remains the same:
f = v?

The angle between the plane of vibration and plane of polarization is 90°.

In the Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the slits varies in time as d(t) = d? + a? sin(ωt); where d?, ω and a? are constants. The difference between the largest fringe width and the smallest fringe width obtained over time is given as :

Raj Pandey

β = λD / (d? + a? sinωt)
β? - β? = λD/ (d? - a? ) - λD/ (d? + a? )
= λD [ (d? + a? ) - (d? - a? ) / (d? ² - a? ²) ]
= 2λDa? / (d? ² - a? ²)

An unpolarised light beam of intensity 2l₀ is passed through a polaroid P and then through another polaroid Q which is oriented is such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of 30° relative to that of P. The intensity of the emergent light is

In Young’s double slit experiment the two slits are 0.6mm distance apart. Interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance 80cm from the slits. The first dark fringe is observed on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light will be__________nm.

Vishal Baghel

3d = 0.6mm

D = 80cm

= 800mm

Path difference is given by

BP – Andhra Pradesh = Dx

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{D} = (2 n + 1) \frac{λ}{2}$ [for Dark fringe at P]

n = 0, for first dark fringe

$\frac{d y}{D} = \frac{λ}{2}$

$λ = \frac{2 d}{D} y$

$= \frac{2 d}{D} \times \frac{d}{2} [y = \frac{d}{2}, G i v e n$ first dark fringe is observed on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits]

$λ = \frac{2 \times 0.6 \times 0.6}{800 \times 2}$

$λ = 450 m m$

In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the slits is $0.15 m m$ . In the experiment, a source of light of wavelength $589 n m$ is used and the interference pattern is observed on a screen kept $1.5 m$ away. The separation between the successive bright fringes on the screen is:


Alok Kumar Singh

$\frac{Energy}{Volume} = \frac{{M L}^{2} T^{- 2}}{L^{3}} = ({M L}^{- 1} T^{- 2})$

The distance between two successive bright fringes is fringe width $(β)$ .

$β = \frac{λ D}{d} = \frac{589 \times 10^{- 9} \times 1.5}{0.15 \times 10^{- 3}} = 5.9 m m$
