The speed of any mechanical wave as it propagates through a medium is dependent mainly on the
period of the wave
type of medium through which the wave travels
frequency of the wave source
wavelength
The region of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately above the frequencies to which the human eye is sensitive is called
RF
Gamma ray
IR
Ultra-Violet

The interference in thin films is because
The film reflects some light
The film is thin enough so that refracted ray is close to reflected ray
All of above

The critical angle for a beam of light passing from water into air is 48.8 degree. This means that all light rays with an angle of incidence greater than this angle will be
absorbed
totally reflected
Partially reflected and partially transmitted
Totally transmitted
The conditions for the production of constructive and destructive interference are reversed due to the fact that on striking the thin film
Two rays of splitted light undergo phase change of 180 degree
One of two rays of splitted light undergo phase change of 180 degree
Light is diffracted, light is polarized
The characteristic that distinguishes a laser beam from an ordinary light beam is
The greater frequency of the laser beam
The coherence of the laser beam
The color of the laser beam
The greater polarization of the laser beam
The angle of incidence for a wave
can be measured between the incident ray and the normal
can be measured between the incident wave front and the boundary
is equal to the angle of reflection
