The following experiment suggests that light propagates as waves
- A Focault's method of finding the velocity of light in water
- B Einstein photoelectric emission experiment
- C Young's Double slit experiment
- D Compton's experiment on scattering of light
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Focault's method of finding the velocity of light in water
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Young's experiment demonstrates the phenomenon of interference, where light waves from two sources overlap to create a pattern of bright and dark fringes. This behavior is a fundamental characteristic of wave propagation and cannot be explained by the particle (corpuscular)…

- p-block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family.
Nitrogen makes various compounds like \(NH _3, HNO _3, N_2 O , NO _2\) etc. Phosphorus exists in the form of white and red phosphorus. White phosphorus glows in dark. \(PH _3\) gas is used as smoke screen. Group 16 is called oxygen family. Dry air contains \(21\% O_2\) gas by volume. Combined sulphur exists as sulphates such as gypsum, epsome salt, baryte etc. The allotropic forms of sulphur are Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur. \(S_2\) is paramagnetic like \(O_2\) and it stable at high temperature.
Group 17 is Halogen family. \(F_2\) is highly reactive, \(Cl _2\) is greenish yellow gas. Both \(SO _2\) and \(Cl _2\) are used for bleaching. Group 18 is Noble gas family but some noble gases also form compounds.
Complete hydrolysis of \(XeF _6\) gives HF and \(XeO _3\) as main products.
