(a) (i) Give any two differences between the interference pattern obtained in Young's double-slit experiment and a diffraction pattern due to a single slit. (ii) Draw an intensity distribution graph in case of a double-slit interference pattern. (iii) In Young's double-slit experiment using monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$, the intensity of light at a point on the screen, where path difference is $\lambda$, is K units. Find the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$. OR (b) (i) Draw a labelled ray diagram of a compound microscope showing image formation at least distance of distinct vision. Derive an expression for its magnifying power. (ii) A telescope consists of two lenses of focal length 100 cm and 5 cm. Find the magnifying power when the final image is formed at infinity.
