Wave Nature of Light
PHXII10:WAVE OPTICS

367965 Wavefront is the locus of all points, where the particles of the medium vibrate with the same

1 Amplitude
2 Frequency
3 Period
4 None of these
PHXII10:WAVE OPTICS

367966 On a hot summer night, the refractive index of air is smallest near the ground and increases with height from the ground. When a light beam is directed horizontally, the Huygens’ principle leads us to conclude that as it travels, the light beam:

1 goes horizontally without any deflection
2 bends downwards
3 bends upwards
4 becomes narrower
