Question #1
A wave of frequency 500 Hz has speed 350 m/s. Wavelength is
A. 175 m
B. 70 m
C. 0.7 m
D. 1.43 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
λ = v/f = 350/500 = 0.7 m.

Question #2
In Young's double slit experiment, if the slit separation is doubled and screen distance halved, the fringe width becomes:
A. Half
B. Double
C. Same
D. One-fourth

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fringe width β = λD/d, where λ wavelength, D screen distance, d slit separation. New d' = 2d, new D' = D/2. Thus β' = λ(D/2)/(2d) = λD/(4d) = β/4. Fringe width reduces to one-fourth. Memory tip: 'β ∝ D/d; changes multiply'. This proportional reasoning problem tests wave optics understanding, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always track how each parameter change affects the result; combine multiplicative factors for net effect. Verify with dimensional analysis: β has length dimension, consistent with λD/d.

Question #3
The splitting of white light into seven colours is called
A. Refraction
B. Dispersion
C. Scattering
D. Total internal reflection

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dispersion: separation due to different refractive indices for different colours. Refraction is bending. Scattering (Tyndall effect) makes sky blue. Total internal reflection in optical fibers.
