5) Calculate the retardation of a 30 µm thick section of zircon oriented a) with its c-axis parallel to the stage, and
b) with its c-axis perpendicular to the stage. For each orientation give a Miller index for a crystal face
parallel to the stage, and the appearance of the grain under crossed-polars. Use the lower end of the range
of refractive indices given by Nesse.
6) Calcite cleavage rhombs lying on a cleavage plane have n; = 1.566. Calculate the thickness of a cleavage
fragment that gives a 3° red interference color.
