1. According to recent trends in NTA JEE MAIN
Overall weightage has stayed same in 2025 like 2024
Youngs double slit experiment is the highlight of the last three years
No need to spend time on special cases in YDSE.
Diffraction of light weightage was increased in 2024. Refer to NCERT for theory
Direct questions of polarization of light are not so common in 2025
40% of questions are numerical type so practice of numerical should be good
