In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$,but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $4 : 1$

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal number of moles of an ideal monoatomic gas at $400 ~K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move while that of $B$ is held fixed. Same amount of heat energy is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $42 ~K$,the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ is (in $~K$)

$A$ person observes the top of a tower from a point $A$ on the ground. The angle of elevation of the tower from this point is $60^{\circ}$. He moves $60 \ m$ in the direction perpendicular to the line joining $A$ and the base of the tower. The angle of elevation of the tower from this new point is $45^{\circ}$. Then,the height of the tower (in metres) is
