78 A thin film of liquid is held in a horizontal circular ring, with air on both sides of the film. A beam of light at wavelength 550 nm is directed perpendicularly onto the film, and the intensity I of its reflection is monitored. Figure 35-47 gives intensity I as a function of time t; the horizontal scale is set by t, = 20.0 s. The in- tensity changes because of evaporation from the two sides of the film. Assume that the film is flat and has parallel sides, a radius of 1.80 cm, and an index of refraction of 1.40. Also assume that the film's volume decreases at a constant rate. Find that rate. I (s)

10. Three polarizing disks have planes that are parallel and centered on a common axis. The direction of the transmission axis (dashed line) in each case is shown relative to the common vertical direction. A polarized beam of light (with its axis of polarization parallel to the horizontal reference direction) is incident from the left on the first disk with intensity S, = 820 W/m2. Calculate the transmitted intensity if 0₁ = 21.0°, 0₂ = 34.0°, and 03 = 44.0°. W/m² Horizontal 8₁ 0₂
9. Two light waves are initially in-phase and have the same wavelength of 638 nm in air. They enter and then exit two equal length (L) parallel layers of glass with n₁ = 1.67 (layer 1) and n₂ = 1.61 (layer 2) as shown below. When the two waves exit the glass into the air, they have a phase difference of 3π/2 radians between them. Find the minimum length L for which this can occur. layer 1 layer 2 → L
Problem 1: You want to test a special watertight monochromatic light source in an un- derwater environment. If the light source shines its beam of electromagnetic radiation into your eyes when you and the light source are above the water, with both your eyes and the light source immersed in air, the beam appears to your eyes to have a deep violet color. The index of refraction of water is about 1.33 What color, if any, would your eyes perceive the beam to have when you and the light source are submerged in water – and why? (A) No color. The beam would become invisible under water because its wavelength in water is shorter than in air, corresponding to a wavelength of ultra-violet light. The beam's wavelength in the water determines its visibility to the eye under water, and ultra-violet light is not visible to the human eye. (B) Same color as in air, above the water, i.e., deep violet. Under water, the beam would have the same wavelength as in air. The beam's wavelength in the water…
