Question: Q. 2. When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses speed. Does this loss imply a reduction in energy carried by the light waves?

A [CBSE 2010]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. No, this loss does not imply a reduction in energy carried by the light waves. Energy of any wave depends upon its frequency which remain same whenever light wave travels from one medium to another medium.

$$ 1+1=2 $$

AII Q. 3. Define type of light wave according to Huygens’ principle. Which optical phenomenon proves this wrong?

R [CBSE 2010]

Ans. According to Huygens’ principle, light is a longitudinal wave. Polarisation proves that light is not a longitudinal wave, it is a transverse wave.

$$ 1+1=2 $$
