Which of the following statements is wrong? (A) The law of reflection applies both to sound waves and light waves. (B) Diffuse reflection of light obeys the law of reflection. (C) Wood appears to be yellowish because it absorbs more yellow light. (D) Plane waves remain plane waves after specular reflection.
Ans- C. Wood appears to be yellowish because it absorbs more yellow light.
( Wood appears to be yellowish because it absorbs all the light rays and reflects only yellow light.)

Which statements about reflection are true? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY) Convex mirrors have focal points opposite to their reflective sides. Diffuse reflection can occur because a surface is rough or due to sub-surface scattering. Specular reflection requires that angles of incidence match the angles of reflection. Light reflected off a surface can never be perfectly polarized at any angle.
Which of the following statements is true? A.)An electromagnetic waves can travel in vacuum B.) Sound waves do not need a medium to propagate C.) Visible light travels only in air D.) The speed of an electromagnetic wave does not depend on the medium
Which of the following is NOT true for electromagnetic waves? (a) they transport energy (b) they transport momentum (c) they consist of changing electric and magnetic fields (d) they travel at different speeds in vacuum, depending on their frequency e) they can be reflected We perceive frequency for sound wave as pitch. What do we perceive frequency for light waves? (a) Color (b) Brightness (c) opacity (d) Shininess Unpolarized light passes through a single polarizer with an intensity of 10.00...
4. Which of the following is false about polarization of light? a. It explains the separation of colors in white light by a prism. b. It can arise in reflection or scattering of light. c. The intensity of a light wave by itself does not give any information about the wave's polarization. d. It arises because electric and magnetic fields in waves can have components in two perpendicular directions. 5. Which of the following is false about Maxwell's equations? a....
Which of the following statements is incorrect with respect to Beer-Lambert law? -- Io/I give transmittance -- The amount of light absorbed is proportional to concentration of absorbing substance -- Intensity of transmitted light decreases exponentially with increase in concentration of absorbing substance -- Transmittance measures the amount of light transmitted after passing through the medium

Which of the following statements is most correct Gratings are not preferred because there are too many individual parts that ate difficult to align. 2. Prisms are preferred because they pass through the largest percentage of incident light: Gratings minimize loss of light and also produce a linear dispersion on the focal plane. A Interference filters are preferred since they can be arranged for wide ranges of wavelengths 5 Prisms are preferred because they are cheap and easy...

Which of the following statements best describes the optical element hidden by the black box in the diagram given the behavior of the parallel rays of light incident on it? A) The black box must contain a concave lens. B) The black box must contain a convex lens. C) The black box must contain a flat piece of glass. D) The black box must contain a convex mirror. E) The black box must contain a plane mirror. Which of the...
Indicate which of the following statements about the electromagnetic spectrum and IR spectroscopy are true and which are false. In any cases where the statement is false, explain how or why the statement is false. Infrared (IR) light is in the gamma ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation is characterized by its mass and force. UV-Vis spectra are normally scanned in the 4000-600 cm-1 region. The fingerprint region on an IR spectrum is the easiest to interpret. Stronger...
