Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the center of the pattern if the film thickness is such that the path difference is λ?
A.
Red
B.
Blue
C.
Green
D.
Yellow
Solution
At the center, where the path difference is λ, constructive interference occurs, and the color that appears depends on the wavelength of light, typically red for thin films.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the center of the pattern if the film is viewed in white light? (2022)
A.
Red
B.
Blue
C.
Green
D.
Yellow
Solution
At the center of the thin film interference pattern, the color that appears is typically green due to the constructive interference of wavelengths in that range.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the center of the pattern if the film thickness is such that it causes constructive interference for red light? (2022)
A.
Red
B.
Blue
C.
Green
D.
Yellow
Solution
The color that appears at the center of the pattern corresponds to the wavelength that experiences constructive interference, which in this case is red light.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the center of the pattern if the film thickness is such that it causes constructive interference for blue light? (2022)
A.
Red
B.
Green
C.
Blue
D.
Yellow
Solution
If the film thickness causes constructive interference for blue light, blue will appear at the center of the pattern.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the center of the pattern if the film thickness is such that it causes destructive interference for red light? (2022)
A.
Blue
B.
Green
C.
Yellow
D.
Red
Solution
Destructive interference for red light means red light is canceled out, leaving the shorter wavelengths (blue) visible.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the topmost layer if the film thickness is such that it causes constructive interference for blue light?
A.
Red
B.
Green
C.
Blue
D.
Yellow
Solution
If the film thickness causes constructive interference for blue light, blue will be the color that appears at the topmost layer.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the topmost layer if the thickness of the film is such that it causes constructive interference for blue light?
A.
Red
B.
Green
C.
Blue
D.
Yellow
Solution
If the film thickness causes constructive interference for blue light, blue will be the color that appears most prominently.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the topmost layer if the film is of thickness comparable to the wavelength of blue light?
A.
Red
B.
Green
C.
Blue
D.
Yellow
Solution
The color that appears depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and will be more prominently reflected.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will appear at the topmost layer when viewed from above?
A.
Red
B.
Blue
C.
Green
D.
Yellow
Solution
The color that appears depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Typically, red light is least affected by thin film interference.
Q. In a thin film of oil on water, which color will be most prominently visible due to constructive interference?
A.
Red
B.
Blue
C.
Green
D.
Yellow
Solution
The color that is most prominently visible depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Typically, shorter wavelengths like blue are enhanced due to constructive interference.
Q. In a thin film of soap, why do we see different colors?
A.
Different wavelengths interfere constructively at different angles
B.
Different wavelengths are absorbed
C.
Different wavelengths reflect differently
D.
Different wavelengths travel at different speeds
Solution
Different colors are seen because different wavelengths of light interfere constructively at different angles due to the varying thickness of the soap film.
Correct Answer:
A
— Different wavelengths interfere constructively at different angles
Q. In a total internal reflection scenario, if the angle of incidence is 45° and the refractive index of the medium is 1.5, what is the angle of refraction?
A.
45°
B.
30°
C.
60°
D.
Total internal reflection occurs
Solution
Since the angle of incidence (45°) is less than the critical angle (approximately 41.8° for glass to air), total internal reflection does not occur, and the angle of refraction cannot be calculated.
Correct Answer:
D
— Total internal reflection occurs
Q. In a tournament, if the top 4 teams are awarded points as follows: 1st place - 10 points, 2nd place - 7 points, 3rd place - 5 points, 4th place - 3 points, what is the total number of points awarded?
