A broad beam of light of wavelength 527 nm is sent directly downward through the glass plate (n = 1.46) in Figure (a). That plate and aplastic plate (n = 1.17) form a thin wedge of air that acts as a thin film. An observer looking down through the top plate sees the fringepattern shown in Figure (b), with dark fringes centered on the ends. (a) What is the thickness (in m) of wedge at the right end?

A broad beam of light of wavelength 600 nm is sent directly downward through the glass plate (n = 1.41). That plate and a plastic plate (n = 1.24) form a thin wedge of air that acts as a thin film. An observer looking down through the top plate sees the fringe pattern, with 7 dark fringes, having two centered on the ends. (a) What is the thickness (in m) of wedge at the right end? (b) How many dark fringes will the observer see if the air between the plates is replaced with a liquid with n = 1.35?
You are standing in air and are looking at a flat piece of glass (n = 1.52) on which there is a layer of transparent plastic (n = 1.61). Light whose wavelength is 562 nm in vacuum is incident nearly perpendicularly on the coated glass and reflects into your eyes. The layer of plastic looks dark. Find the smallest possible nonzero value for the thickness of the layer.
A laser beam is normally incident on a single slit with width 0.580 mm. A diffraction pattern forms on a screen a distance 1.20 m beyond the slit. The distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central maximum is 2.12 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light (in nm). X Find the relationship among y, the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum, L, and 0, and then apply the equation for the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. Solve for A. Hint: use a small-angle approximation. nm
** 38. Two plastic plates (index of refraction n = 1.3) are separated by an air gap of 0.9 µm. Analyze the reflections of light of wavelength 600 nm and conclude whether it will be brightly reflected or not. 0.9 um gap ** 39. The air gap in the previous problem is now filled with a mineral oil whose index of refraction is n = 1.5. Analyze the reflections of light of wavelength 600 nm and conclude if it will be brightly reflected or not.
A flat piece of glass is held stationary and horizontal above the highly polished, flat top end of a 9.00-cm-long vertical metal rod that has its lower end rigidly fixed. The thin film of air between the rod and glass is observed to be bright by reflected light when it is illuminated by light of wavelength 515 nm. As the temperature is slowly increased by 25.5°C, the film changes from bright to dark and back to bright 200 times. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal?
500 nm light incident from air (nair = 1.00) strikes a thin film of soap (nsoap = 1.40) on glass (nglass = 1.62). Some of the light refracts and is transmitted into the soap film.

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive index that is between 1.00 and 1.40. Light that has a wavelength of 628 nm (in vacuum) shines perpendicularly down through the air onto this film, and in this light the film looks bright due to constructive interference. The thickness of the film is 280 nm and is the minimum nonzero thickness for which constructive interference can occur. What is the refractive index of the film? Number i Units

Two sources are emitting coherent, monochromatic EM waves with a wavelength of 2 cm in air. Source 1 is embedded in a material with index of refraction n1 = 1.5. The distance between source 1 and the edge of the material is 6 cm. You can assume nair = 1. At the point marked with an X, which is 9 cm from source 2 and 3 cm from the edge of the material that source 1 is embedded inside, what kind of interference will you find between EM waves from the two sources?
