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 0.371 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.)

White light originates in water (n = 1.33) and then passes through crown glass, which has mild dispersion behavior (nred = 1.52, nviolet = 1.53). What initial angle above the horizontal in water would be required for the glass to refract red light but internally reflect the violet light? Assume the glass is in contact with air above it. What would be the angle of refraction for red light at the glass-air interface? Air Glass Water
Jackson is standing in air and is shining a flashlight at a 62-cm-thick slab of glass. His beam makes an angle of 83.5 degrees with the surface of the glass. The glass is a dispersive medium, and has an index of refraction of 2.1 for red light and 2.3 for purple light. Find the distance between the point where the red light leaves the slab and where the purple light leaves it. [The angles of refraction are small, so make the appropriate approximation when calculating their sines.]
