  1. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  2. A.

     The refractive index of a medium varies according to the wavelength of the radiation

    B.

     The variation of the refractive index with wave length, is called dispersion

    C.

     The splitting of colors of white light by passing through a prism is caused due to dispersion

    D.

     All of these


  3. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  4. A.

     The surface defined by the locus of points having same phase, is called a wave front

    B.

     The wave whose surface of constant phase are parallel planes, is known as a plane wave

    C.

     The relative phase difference between the waves is important and not the absolute phase of a point on the wave

    D.

     All of these


  5. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  6. A.

     Topology describes the geometric characteristic of objects which do not change under transformations and are independent of any coordinate system
