Q. 26. As the beam enters the medium, it will

  1. diverge
  2. converge
  3. diverge near the axis and converge near the periphery
  4. travel as a cylindrical beam

Sol:

converging beam

Answer : (2)

Q. 27. The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is

  1. convex
  2. concave
  3. convex near the axis and concave near the periphery
  4. planar

 Answer : (4)

Q. 28.The speed of light in the medium is

  1. minimum on the axis of the beam
  2. the same everywhere in the beam
  3. directly proportional to the intensity I
  4. maximum on the axis of the beam

Sol:

Refractive index is maximum at axis. Therefore speed of light at axis will be minimum.

Answer : (1)
