Shown below is the central part of the interference pattern for a pure wavelength of red light projected onto a double slit. The pattern is actually a combination of singleand double-slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Is this a double- or single-slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this a single- or double-slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses.

Show the appropriate figureA light is to be placed directly above the center of a circular plot of radius 30 ft,at such a height that the edge of the plot will get maximum illumination. Find theheight if the intensity I at any point on the edge is directly proportional to thecosine of the angle of incidence (angle between the ray of light and the vertical)and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
Refer to the photo below. a. What happened to the white light when it reflected out in the air? Why the light reflected out in such manner when it is white?
A light is to be placed above the center of a circular area of radius a. What height gives the best illumination on a circular walk surrounding the area? (When light from a point source strikes a surface obliquely, the intensity of illumination is I = (k sinA)/d^2 where A is the angle of incidence and d the distance from the source.)
