In a Young's double-slit experiment, the slit separation is doubled. To maintain the same fringe spacing on the screen, the screen-to-slit distance D must be changed to:

a)

D/2

b)

D 2\sqrt{2}

c)

2D

d)

4D

2.

A diffraction grating is used to measure the wavelength of monochromatic light, as shown in the diagram.

The spacing of the slits in the grating is 1.00 x10-6 m. The angle between the first order diffraction maxima is 70.0o.

What is the wavelength of the light?

a)

287 nm

b)

470 nm

c)

574 nm

d)

940 nm

3.

White light is incident on a diffraction grating. Red diffracts the farthest so forms the outer edge of the pattern. This is because

a)

red has a higher frequency than blue

b)

blue bends more than red

c)

red has a larger wavelength than blue

d)

red has a smaller diffraction grating, d, than blue

4.

(a)  

5.

What is the energy, in eV, of a photon that has a wavelength of 620 nm?

a)

1eV

b)

2eV

c)

3eV

d)

4eV

6.

A metal with a work function of 3.5 eV is exposed to photons with an energy of 3.7 eV. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

a)

0.2 eV

b)

0.9 eV

c)

1.1 eV

d)

7.7 eV

7.

Two polarizing filters are set up so the transmitted light is at a maximum intensity.

Through which angle should polariser 2 be rotated so that no light is transmitted?

a)

45º

b)

60º

c)

90º

d)

180º

8.

The light through the window makes a larger image than the window. This is because of

a)

diffraction; light has a long wavelength

b)

polarization; this creates longitudinal waves

c)

dispersion; air has such a high refractive index light bends

d)

reflection; light scatters from many directions

9.

starting voltage
11.

In this interaction a photon hits an outer shell electron, it removes it and the photon changes its direction and loses energy

a)
