A soap/water film on a wire loop (this means a thin layer of water with air on either side, and nair < nwater) appears black at its thinnest portion when the reflected light is viewed. A thin oil film floating on water appears bright at its thinnest portion when the reflected light is viewed (note that nair < noil < nwater). What is the reason for this difference? Select one: a. When the light travels from water (soap film) to air, the reflected ray undergoes a half-wavelength phase shift, but when it goes from oil to water, the reflected ray has no phase shift O b. When the light travels from oil to water, the reflected ray undergoes a half-wavelength phase shift, but when it goes from water (soap film) to air, the reflected ray has no phase shift C. Oil is naturally much more reflective than a soap film O d. When the light travels from air to water (soap film), and from air to oil, the reflected rays both undergo a half-wavelength phase shift O e. When the light travels from water (soap film) to air, and from oil to water, the reflected rays both undergo a half-wavelength phase shift

answer for the second two
The following problem must be solved taking into consideration the modification given below: A student holds a laser that emits light of wavelength 545 nm. The laser beam passes though a pair of slits separated by 0.500 mm, in a glass plate attached to the front of the laser. The beam then falls perpendicularly on a screen, creating an interference pattern on it. The student begins to walk directly toward the screen at 2.00 m/s. The central maximum on the screen is stationary. Find the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen. Do not use small angle approximation. Modification: Suppose there is a liquid in the space between the slits and the screen. Give such liquid any refractive index you desire (numerical value). Also suppose that the screen has a finite lenght (give another numerical value). Besides calculating the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen also calculate the initial value of bright fringes according to the…

a narrow beam of light containing yellow (580 nm) and green (550 nm) wavelength goes from polystyrene to air striking the surface at a 30° incident angle. what is the angle between the colors when they emerge? how far would they have to travel to be separated by 1.00 mm?
Q1:a) Parallel rays of green mercury light with a wavelength of 546 nm pass through a slit covering a lens with a focal length of 60.0 cm. In the focal plane of the lens the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum is 10.2mm. What is the width of the slit? b) Unpolarized light of intensity 20 W /cm² is incident on two polarizing filters. The axis of the first filter is at an angle of 25.0° counterclockwise from the vertical and the axis of the second filter is at 62.0°counterclockwise from the vertical. What is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the second polarizer?
A soap bubble shows strong colors due to interference of the light that reflects from the inner and outer boundaries of the thin soap and water film. Light striking the outer surface has a phase change on reflection of . That means that its phase is flipped when it goes from air to the water surface and back out. Light reflecting from the inner surface, where it is in water then comes to the boundary with air, does not change its phase. Suppose you see white light reflecting from a bubble as it increases its size. The film making the bubble gets thinner and thinner and the colors reflecting from it change. The bubble glows in colors that differ with the thickness of the soap film. As it gets even thinner, what will you see at the place in the film that will soon burst? In doubt, try an experiment with soapy water and make your own bubble. Look at the colors of a reflected white light when the bubble thins. Darkness. The light will destructively interfere and the…
A thin layer of oil floats on a puddle of water. When sunlight hits the film from directly above, the colors red (650 nm) and violet (390 nm) are reflected. What is the minimum thickness of the oil? Use n=1.5 for the oil, and n=1.33 for water.
A thin film of cooking oil (n = 1.45) is spread on a puddle of water (n = 1.35). What is the minimum thickness Dmin of the oil that will strongly reflect blue light having a wavelength in air of 451 nm, at normal incidence? Dmin = nm What are the next three thicknesses that will also strongly reflect blue light of the same wavelength, at normal incidence? O 156 nm, 233 nm, and 3111 nm O 467 nm, 778 nm, and 1090 nm O 233 nm, 389 nm, and 544 nm O 363 nm, 606 nm, and 848 nm
An extremely thin sheet of glass is being inspected at the laboratory. Illuminated by white light at near-normal incidence, the film- like sheet is 0.384 μm thick and has air on both sides. If the glass has a refractive index of 1.66, what wavelength of visible light (in nm) does it reflect most strongly? (The wavelengths of visible light range from 400 to 700 nm.)
