The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60°. The width of the slit is 1 $$\mu $$m. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young’s fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e. distance between the centres of each slit.)

Unpolarized light of intensity I passes through an ideal polarizer A. Another identical polarizer B is placed behind A. The intensity of light beyond B is found to be I/2. Now another identical polarizer C is placed between A and B. The intensity beyond B is now found to be I/8. The angle between polarizer A and C is :

An electron from various excited states of hydrogen atom emit radiation to come to the ground state. Let $${\lambda _n}$$, $${\lambda _g}$$ be the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the n^th state and the ground state respectively. Let $${\Lambda _n}$$ be the wavelength of the emitted photon in the transition from the n^th state to the ground state. For large n, (A, B are constants)

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest, fractional loss of its energy is p_d; while for its similar collision with carbon nucleus at rest, fractional loss of energy is p_c. The values of p_d and p_c are respectively :
