A thin glass plate of thickness \(\frac{2500}{3}\lambda\) (\(\lambda\) is wavelength of light used) and refractive index \(\mu = 1.5\) is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits, the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is :

The source that illuminates the double − slit in 'double - slit interference experiment' emits two distinct monochromatic waves of wavelength 500 nm and 600 nm, each of them producing its own pattern on the screen. At the central point of the pattern when path difference is zero, maxima of both the patterns coincide and the resulting interference pattern is most distinct at the region of zero path difference. But as one moves out of this central region, the two fringe systems are gradually out of step such that maximum due to one wavelength coincides with the minimum due to the other and the combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct. This may happen when path difference in nm is:

A metal sample carrying a current along X− axis with density \(J_x\) is subjected to a magnetic field \(B_z\) (along z− axis). The electric field \(E_y\) developed along Y-axis is directly proportional to \(J_x\) as well as \(B_z\). The constant of proportionality has SI unit.

The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to \(8\times 10^{22}\ \mathrm{Am^2}\), the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to (radius of the earth = \(6.4\times 10^{6}\) m)

The gravitational field in a region is given by: \(\vec{E} = (5\ N/kg)\hat{i} + (12\ N/kg)\hat{j}\). If the potential at the origin is taken to be zero, then the ratio of the potential at the points \((12\ \mathrm{m}, 0)\) and \((0, 5\ \mathrm{m})\) is :

This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

A parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates d, plate area A and material with dielectric constant K has capacitance \(C_0\). Now one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant 2 K, so that effectively there are two capacitors one with area \(\frac{1}{3}\)A, dielectric constant 2 K and another with area \(\frac{2}{3}\)A and dielectric constant K. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is C then \(\frac{C}{C_0}\) is
