Paragraph:
The figure shows a surface \(X Y\) separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines \(a b\) and \(c d\) represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium-1 and incident on \(X Y\). The lines ef and \(g h\) represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-2 after refraction.
Question:
The phases of the light wave at \(c, d, e\) and \(f\) are \(\phi_c, \phi_d, \phi_e\) and \(\phi_f\), respectively. It is given that \(\phi_c \neq \phi_f\).
- A \(\phi_c\) cannot be equal to \(\phi_d\)
- B \(\phi_d\) can be equal to \(\phi_e\)
- C \(\left(\phi_d-\phi_f\right)\) is equal to \(\left(\phi_c-\phi_e\right)\)
- D \(\left(\phi_d-\phi_c\right)\) is not equal to \(\left(\phi_f-\phi_e\right)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\left(\phi_d-\phi_f\right)\) is equal to \(\left(\phi_c-\phi_e\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
All points on a wavefront are at the same phase.
\(\therefore \phi_d =\phi_c \text { and } \phi_f=\phi_e\)
\(\therefore \phi_d-\phi_f =\phi_c-\phi_e\)
Hence, the correct option is (c).
\(\therefore \phi_d =\phi_c \text { and } \phi_f=\phi_e\)
\(\therefore \phi_d-\phi_f =\phi_c-\phi_e\)
Hence, the correct option is (c).

- The center of a disk of radius \(r\) and mass \(m\) is attached to a spring of spring constant \(k\), inside a ring of radius \(R>r\) as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following the Hooke's law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as \(T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\). The correct expression for \(\omega\) is ( \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity):
