This question has a paragraph followed by two statements, Statement \(-1\) and Statement \(-2\). Of the given four alternatives after the statements, choose the one that describes the statements.

A thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plane-convex lens over a plane glass plane. With monochromatic light, this film gives an interference pattern due to light, reflected from the top (convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.

Statement - \(1\) : When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface, the reflected wave suffers a phase change of \(\pi .\)

Statement - \(2\) : The center of the interference pattern is dark.

A
Statement - \(1\) is true, Statement - \(2\) is true, Statement - \(2\) is the correct explanation of Statement - \(1\)
B
Statement - \(1\) is true, Statement - \(2\) is true, Statement - \(2\) is not the correct explanation of Statement - \(1\)
C
Statement - \(1\) is false, Statement - \(2\) is true

Two beams, \(A\) and \(B\), of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam \(A\) has maximum intensity (and beam \(B\) has zero intensity), a rotation of polaroid through \({30^ \circ }\) makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are \({{\rm I}_A}\) and \({{\rm I}_B}\) respectively, then \({{{{\rm I}_A}} \over {{{\rm I}_B}}}\) equals:

The box of a pin hole camera, of length \(L,\) has a hole of radius a. It is assumed that when the hole is illuminated by a parallel beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) the spread of the spot (obtained on the opposite wall of the camera) is the sum of its geometrical spread and the spread due to diffraction. The spot would then have its minimum size (say \({b_{\min }}\)) when :
A
\(a = \sqrt {\lambda L} \,\) and \({b_{\min }} = \sqrt {4\lambda L}\)
B
\(a = {{{\lambda ^2}} \over L}\) and \({b_{\min }} = \sqrt {4\lambda L}\)
