Geometric and Physical Optics
If a plane electromagnetic wave is traveling in a vacuum and then enters a medium with a higher refractive index, what happens to the speed of the wave within that medium?
What effect does adding more capacitors in parallel have on the total capacitance of an electrical circuit?
If a beam of light exhibits diffraction as it passes through a narrow slit, what characteristic of light does this phenomenon primarily demonstrate?
In a series RLC circuit at resonance, what happens to the impedance as compared with just having a resistor alone?
Which type of electromagnetic wave is the most energetic?

If two different transparent materials have indices of refraction and for blue light and , which material would cause blue light to deviate more from its original path when entering at an angle?
Why does the diffraction pattern produced by a laser beam shining through a small aperture exhibit a bright central maximum surrounded by dark fringes?
When monochromatic light is used to illuminate two closely spaced slits, leading to an interference pattern on a screen, how does this pattern demonstrate one aspect of light's nature?
