Interference and Diffraction Trivia Quizzes for Practice

61. The angle of incidence for a wave

1. can be measured between the incident ray and the normal
2. can be measured between the incident wave front and the boundary
3. is equal to the angle of reflection
4. all of the above

62. The characteristic that distinguishes a laser beam from an ordinary light beam is

1. The greater frequency of the laser beam
2. The coherence of the laser beam
3. The color of the laser beam
4. The greater polarization of the laser beam

63. The conditions for the production of constructive and destructive interference are reversed due to the fact that on striking the thin film

1. Two rays of splitted light undergo phase change of 180 degree
2. One of two rays of splitted light undergo phase change of 180 degree
3. Light is diffracted, light is polarized
