During this time interval, the wave at A send out a Huygens’s wavelet towards D. In the same time interval, the wave at B sends out Huygens’s wavelet towards C. Since two wavelets travel through different mediums, thus radii of the two wavelets are different.

\nAnswer:
\n(a) Our eyes cannot distinguish between polarized and unpolarised light. Polaroids can, however, be used to examine whether a given light is polarized or unpolarised. For this, the given light is passed through a Polaroid and the Polaroid is rotated about the incident light.
\n(i) If on rotating the Polaroid through one complete rotation there is no change in the intensity of the emergent light in any position, then the given light is unpolarised.
\n(ii) It there is change in the intensity of emergent light and in one complete rotation of Polaroid the intensity became twice maximum or twice zero, then the given light is completely plane polarized.
\n(iii) If the intensity of light changes but never became zero, then the light is partially polarized.<\/p>\n

\nQuestion 7.
\n(a) (i) What is meant by :
\n(A) Spherical aberration ?
\n(B) Chromatic aberration ? [3]
\n(ii) How can spherical aberration be reduced\/minimized ? Suggest any one method.<\/p>\n
\n(ii) State one advantage of a reflecting telescope over refracting telescope.
\nAnswer:
\n(a) (i) (A) Spherical aberration : When a parallel beam of light is incident on a lens, it is observed that the rays suffering refraction from the peripheral portion of the lens comes to focus at a point near the lens and rays suffering refraction from near the axes of the lens comes to focus at a point away from the lens. Due to this, the image is not sharp and is spread along the axis. This defect in the image is called spherical aberration. This aberration is reduced by
\n(i) using crossed lens
\n(ii) using an aperture or a stopper.
\n(B) Chromatic aberration: A lens, as we know, is a combination of prisms placed one above the other with central region behaving as plane glass plate. A prism produces both deviation and dispersion. The deviation suffered by the red color in the incident white light is less as compared with that of violet fight. Thus, instead of getting a point image of a point object, we get a colored image. Thus, the image is distorted. This failure of the lens to bring the rays of different colors to focus at the same point is called chromatic aberration.
\n(ii) Spherical aberration can be minimized by bending the lens into its best form. The use of symmetric doublets greatly reduces spherical aberration.

\nAnswer:
\n(a) (i) Compton effect: It is the increase in wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation when these radiations are scattered by tree electrons or from elements of low atomic weight. Some of the energy of the incident photon is transferred to the electron due to which its wavelength increases.
\n(ii) (1) The intensity of the ejected X-rays depends upon the number of electrons striking the anti cathode which in its turn depends upon the heating current in the filament. Thus, the intensity of X-rays can be changed by changing the healing current or temperature.
\n(2) The penetrating power of the X-rays depends upon the accelerating voltage i.e., potential difference between the cathode and the anti cathode. More the accelerating voltage, more the penetrating power of the X-rays.<\/p>\n

\nThe main difference in energy band diagram of solid insulator and that of conductor is in case of insulator there is wide energy gap between valance band and conduction band whereas this gap is small in case of semiconductor.<\/p>\n
\n(ii) The input is applied in between AB and the output is obtained at load i.e., in between MN.
\n(iii) The output and input voltage of the given circuit has the phase difference of 180\u00b0 i.e., there is a phase reversal as shown in the diagram alongside.
