In the figure, assume two waves of light in air, of wavelength 460 nm, are initially in phase. One travels through a glass layer of index of refraction n₁ = 1.59 and thickness L. The other travels through an equally thick plastic layer of index of refraction n₂ = 1.20. (a) What is the smallest value L in meters should have if the waves are to end up with a phase difference of 5.84 rad? (b) If the waves arrive at some common point with the same amplitude, is their interference fully constructive, fully destructive, intermediate but closer to fully constructive, or intermediate but closer to fully destructive?

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…
