- aDeduce the equation for the propagation of plane electromagnetic waves in the free space. Show that the electric and magnetic vectors are normal to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave
- bExplain the principle of conservation of electric charge and discuss its importance in electromagnetic theory
- aExplain and obtain the condition of absent spectra in plane transmission grating. If the width d of the opaque space (ruling) is equal to the width e of the transparent space, which orders will be absent? Which if d = 2e?
- bDiscuss Fraunhofer Diffraction of light at a double slit and obtain the conditions for diffraction and interference maxima and minima
- aDescribe the construction and working principle of a He-Ne with the help of a suitable diagram
- bWhat are the sources of attenuation of signal in an optical fibre? Explain
- aWhat is the critical magnetic field? How does it vary with temperature? Critical temperature of superconductor when no magnetic field is applied is 𝑇𝑐. Find the temperature at which the critical field becomes half of its value at 0 K
- bExplain the method of preparation of Nanomaterials (i) Sol- Gel method and (ii) Chemical Vapour Deposition methods in detail
