The process of conversion of an ac voltage into a dc voltage is called rectification and the device which performs this conversion is
called a rectifier. The characteristics of a p-n junction diode reveal that when a p-n junction diode is forward biased, it offers a low
resistance and when it is reverse biased, it offers a high resistance. Hence, a p-n junction diode conducts only when it is forward
biased. This property of a p-n junction diode makes it suitable for its use as a rectifier. Thus, when an ac voltage is applied across a
p-n junction, it conducts only during those alternate half cycles for which it is forward biased. A rectifier which rectifies only half
cycle of an ac voltage is called a half-wave rectifier and one that rectifies both the half cycles is known as a full-wave rectifier.

A lens is a transparent medium bounded by two surfaces, with one or both surfaces being spherical. The focal length of a lens is
determined by the radii of curvature of its two surfaces and the refractive index of its medium with respect to that of the
surrounding medium. The power of a lens is reciprocal of its focal length. If a number of lenses are kept in contact, the power of
the combination is the algebraic sum of the powers of the individual lenses.

Q31. The principle of superposition is used to understand the phenomenon of interference of light waves. The principle states that at a 5 Marks
particular point, the resultant displacement produced by a number of waves is the vector sum of the displacements produced by
each wave. Light waves from two coherent sources produce interference pattern. Thomas Young devised a way to obtain two
t io n s
coherent sources using two identical pinholes (S1 and S2) illuminated by a single monochromatic pinhole source S. Using these
So l u
sources in his experiment known as Young’s double slit experiment, Young studied the interference pattern. The pattern consists of
alternate bright and dark fringes. The distance between two successive bright or dark finges depends on the distance between S1
and S2, the distance of the screen from the plane of S1S2 and the wavelength of light used.
1. Consider the following waves:
1. y1 = a sin ωt

measured in the three cases are ω1 , ω2 and ω3 respectively, then which of the following is correct?
1. ω2 > ω1 > ω3
2. ω1 > ω2 > ω3
3. ω2 > ω3 > ω1
4. ω3 > ω1 > ω2
4. In a Young’s double slit experiment, the slit separation is 0.8mm and the interference pattern is obtained on a screen kept
50cm from the plane of the slits S1 and S2. If the first bright fringe is formed 0.4mm from the central maximum, the
wavelength of light used is:
1. 480nm
2. 560nm
3. 640nm
4. 680nm
5. Consider the effect on the angular separation of the fringes in a Young’s double slit experiment due to the following
operations:
1. the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits,
2. the separation between the two slits is increased till fringes are observed.
Which of the following options is correct?
1. It remains constant in both cases.
2. It decreases in both cases.
3. It remains constant in (I) but decreases in (II).
4. It decreases in (I) but remains constant in (II).
Q32. A ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium. After refraction, it bends away from the normal. When we keep increasing 5 Marks
the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction also increases till the refracted ray grazes along the interface of two media. The
angle of incidence for which it happens is called critical angle. If the angle of incidence is increased further the ray will not emerge
and it will be reflected back in the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light.
1. A ray of light travels from a medium into water at an angle of incidence of 18". The refractive index of the medium is more

on the surface get refracted into the medium on the other side. The laws of refraction are valid at each point of the spherical
Brisk L e a r
surface. A lens is a transparent optical medium bounded by two surfaces, at least one of which should be spherical. The focal
length of a lens is determined by the radii of curvature (R, and Rj) of its two surfaces and the refractive index (n) of the medium of
the lens with respect to the surrounding medium. Depending on R, and Ro, a lens behaves as a diverging or a converging lens. The
ability of a lens to diverge or converge a beam of light incident on it defines its power.
