Electrons (mass m) moving with a velocity v are incident normally onto a single slit of width d, and are detected on a screen placed at a distance D behind the slit. The central point on the screen where most of the electrons are detected is O. The closest point to O where no electrons are detected is X. Then OX equals:
1. hDmvd 2. hD2mvd
3. 2hDmvd 4. 3hD2mvd

Young's double-slit experiment is performed with identical slits separated by a distance d, and with light of wavelength λ. The screen is placed at a point which is at a distance D from the double-slit, as usual. A convex lens of focal length f is inserted between the double-slit and the screen, very close to the double slit. The screen is adjusted (i.e. the value of D is slowly varied) until a clear interference pattern is formed. The fringe width equals:
 
1. λfd 2. 2λfd
3. λf2d 4. λfd2

Young's double-slit experiment is conducted with light of an unknown wavelength, the waves arriving at the central point on the screen are found to have a phase difference of π2. The closest maximum to the central point is formed behind one of the slits. The separation between the slits is d, and the slit to screen separation is D. The longest wavelength for this to happen is:
1. 2d2D 2. 2d23D
3. d22D 4. d26D

Sound waves travel faster in water than in air. Imagine a plane sound wavefront incident at an angle α at the air-water interface; the refracted wavefront making an angle β with the interface. Then,
1. α>β
2. β>α
3. α=β
4. the relation between α & β cannot be predicted.
