4.
a) Discuss Rayleigh’s criterion for resolving power of an optical instrument. Obtain an
expression for the resolving power of a microscope.

b) A He-Ne laser emits a beam of diameter 2×10−3m and wavelength 630 nm. It is directed
towards an aeroplane flying at a height of 11 km. Calculate the diameter of the light patch
produced on the surface of the aeroplane.
3. State salient features of single slit Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. The slit is vertical and
illuminated by a point source. Also, obtain an expression for intensity distribution and plot it.
2.
a) An oil (μ0 = 1.45) film of thickness 280 nm floats on water (μw = 1.33). It is illuminated
by white light at normal incidence. Which colour in the visible spectrum will be most
strongly (i) reflected, and (ii) transmitted?

b) Obtain the expression for shift in fringes when a thin transparent sheet is introduced in
the path of one of the waves in a double slit interference experiment.
