A thin sheet of transparent material has an index of refraction of 1.40 and is 15.0 µm thick. When it is inserted in the light path along one arm of an interferometer, how many fringe shifts occur in the pattern? Assume the wavelength (in a vac- uum) of the light used is 600 nm. Hint: The wavelength will change within the material.

A uniform plane wave is generated from a ham radio antenna on earth. The take off angle is 60 degrees (the angle ffrom ground going up is 60 deg). Using simple trigonometry the angle if incidence with the ionosphere would be 30 degrees. Assume the F layer of the ionosphere is 300 km above the earth. The wave frequency from the transmitter is 21 MHz. WIll this wave refract off the ionosphere and end up somewhere on earth? If yes, what is the distance it travels?
A telescope has a circular aperture of diameter D = 4.1 m. Light with wavelength λ = 620 nm travels through the telescope. Part (a) Express the limiting angle of resolution, θmin, in terms of λ and D. You may assume that θmin is very small. Part (b) Solve for the numerical value of θmin in degrees.
A multi-mode fiber optic has a core index of n = 1.492 and a cladding index of 1.489. The diameter of the core is 30.0 microns. Monochromatic light is focused into one end of a perfectly straight fiber which is 25.0 km long. What will be the difference in arrival time at the far end of the fiber for the axial and marginal rays?
How many centimetres is the light ray displaced after passing through the 5.50 cm thick sheet of material (n = 1.30) with an incident angle of θ = 34.0 °?
A lens with an index of refraction of 1.60 is to be coated with a material (n = 1.40) that will make the lens nonreflecting for yellow-orange light (λλ = 515 nm) normally incident on the lens. What is the minimum required thickness of the coating?
