Optics Question 164

Question: A circular disc is placed in front of a narrow source. When the point of observation is at a distance of 1 meter from the disc, then the disc covers first HPZ. The intensity at this point is I0. The intensity at a point distance 25 cm from the disc will be

Options:

A) I1=0.531I0

B) I1=0.053I0

C) I1=53I0

D) I1=5.03I0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

I0=R2=R224 .

Number of HPZ covered by the disc at b=25cm

n1b1=n2b2

n2=n1b1b2+1×10.25=4 .

Hence the intensity at this point is

I=R2=(R52)2=(R5R4×R4R3×R3R2)2×(R22)2 or 1=[0.9]6

I1=0.531I0 Hence the correct answer will be (a).
