Answer- (a, b)

Explanation- Due to the point source light propagates in all directions symmetrically and hence, wavefront will be spherical as shown in the diagram.

If power of the source is P, then intensity of the source will be I= p/4 $\pi r$ ²

 where, r is radius of the wavefront at anytime.

Answer- (a, b)

Explanation- (a) When a decreases w increases. So, size decreases.

(b) Now, light energy is distributed over a small area and intensity∝1/Area  is decreasing so intensity increases

Answer – (b, d)

Explanation- We know that wavelength of sunlight ranges from 4000 Å to 8000 Å.

Clearly, wavelength λ < width of the slit.

Hence, light is diffracted from the hole. Due to diffraction from the slight the image formed On the screen will be different from the geometrical image.

XAT 2026 answer key will be released 2-3 days after the exam. XAT 2026 will be held on January 4, 2026 so one can expect the provisional answer key to be released by January 7-8, 2026. The provisional answer key will be available through login only. Candidates will have to use their application number and password to login and download the answer key.

Answer- (a, b, d)

Explanation-Consider the pattern of the intensity shown in the figure

(i) As intensities of all successive minima is zero, hence we can say that two sources S₁ and S₂ are having same intensities.

(ii) As width of the successive maxima (pulses) increases in continuous manner, we can say that the path difference (x) or phase difference varies in continuous manner.

(iii) We are using monochromatic light in YDSE to avoid overlapping and to have very clear pattern on the screen.

Answer- d

Explanation- According to question, there is a hole at point P₂. From Huygen's principle, wave will propagates from the sources S₁ and S₂. Each point on the screen will acts as secondary sources of wavelets. Now, there is a hole at point P₂ (minima). The hole will act as a source of fresh light for the slits S₃ and S₄.

Therefore, there will be a regular two slit pattern on the second screen

To secure a Neelkanth BTech seat, candidates must have passed Class 12 with at least 50% marks in PCM and submit a valid scorecard from UPTAC or JEE Main. Admissions are based on merit and the counselling process.

Answer – (c)

Explanation- For the interference pattern to be formed on the screen, the sources should be coherent and emits lights of same frequency and wavelength. In a Young's double-slit experiment, when one of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case due to filteration only red and blue lights are present. In YDSE monochromatic light is used for the formation of fringes on the screen. Hence, in this case there shall be no interference fringes.

Practicing the NCERT Exemplar problems helps in deepening the conceptual understanding of Chapter 4. These questions are designed to test the conceptual application and higher-order thinking. The solutions are given by the subject matter experts of Shiksha and practicing these strengthens the understanding of key topics like Biot–Savart law, magnetic forces, and Ampere's circuital law. It provides exam-oriented practice and students can score high in the CBSE Board exam and in entrance exams like NEET and JEE exams.

Candidates wishing to pursue the DPharm course from DSIPST are required to meet the eligibility criteria for the programme. Candidates are required to have cleared Class 12 with either PCM or PCB as their main subjects. Candidates must make sure to participate in the merit based admission process to get a seat in the programme. 

Neelkanth Group of Institutions offers a total of 330 seats for its BTech programmes across various specialisations, including Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical & Electronics, IT, and ECE.

Answer- a

Explanation- due to refraction from the glass medium there is a phase change of $\pi$

$?t$ = $\frac{o{p}^{\text{'}\text{'}}}{v}$ = $\frac{\frac{d}{cosr}}{\frac{c}{n}}=\frac{nd}{ccosr}$

According to snells law n= sin $i$ /sinr

Cosr = $\sqrt[]{1-{sin}^{2}r}=\sqrt[]{1-\frac{{sin}^2\theta }{n^2}}$

$?t$ = $\frac{nd}{c({\frac{{1-sin}^2\theta }{n^2})}^{1/2}}=\frac{n^{2}d}{c}$ ( $({\frac{{1-sin}^2\theta }{n^2})}^{-1/2}$ )

Phase difference = $?\varnothing$ = $\frac{2\pi }{T}\times ?t$ = $\frac{2\pi nd}{\lambda }$ ( $({\frac{{1-sin}^2\theta }{n^2})}^{-1/2}$ )

So net difference = $?\varnothing +\pi$ = $\frac{4\pi d}{\lambda }$ ( $1-\frac{1}{n^2}{sin}^2\theta$ )-1/2+ $\pi$

XAT admit card is available for download until the exam day only. The admit card link is deactivated from the official website once the exam is over. Moreover, only that XAT admit card is considered to be valid and a proof of candidate appearing for the exam that has official stamp and signature. So, candidates must preserve their admit card they carried to the test centre and has official stamp till the end of admission.

The college offers PGDM course. Candidates must pass graduation with a 50% aggregate. Students can check the table below to know course-wise eligibility:

Answer- ( a)

Explanation- given width of slit is 10⁴10^-10m= 10^-6

Wavelength of sunlight varies from 4000A⁰ to 8000A⁰

As the width of slit is comparable to that of wavelength, hence diffraction occurs with maxima at centre. So, at the centre all colours appear i.e., mixing of colours form white patch at the centre.

XAT admit card may be needed at the time of admission at certain colleges if their guidelines mention submission of a copy of admit card as part of document submission. Candidates must anyway preserve their XAT admit card until the end of admission process.

Digital copy of the XAT admit card is not accepted as valid. Candidates must carry a print out of the admit card to examination centre with a recent photo pasted on it.

Answer- (c)

Explanation-Consider the diagram the light beam incident from air to the glass slab at Brewster's angle (ip ). The incident ray is unpolarised and is represented by dot (.).

The reflected light is plane polarised represented by arrows.

As the emergent ray is unpolarised, hence intensity cannot be zero when passes through polaroid.
