Chapter 30, Problem 49P
Reconsider Example 30.4, now in a glass with n700 = 1.482 and n400 = 1.615. Determine what happens to the red and violet light with these respective wavelengths, and speculate on what happens to the entire incident beam of white light.

Two beams of light start together and then hit a slab of two different kinds of material. This will cause one of the beams to get "ahead" of the other; that is, one will emerge from the slab sooner than the other. The beams have a wavelength of 680 nm outside the slabs, and the slab is d = 1.10 microns thick. If the top half of the slab has index of refraction 1.65 and the bottom has index 1.37, by what time interval will one of the beams be ahead of the other once they've gone through the slab?
a beam of white light is shined at normal incidence onto the outside of a soap bubble (index of soap solution = 1.340). An observer looking at the bubble, opposite to the direction of the beam, notices that green light (Lambda = 555.0 nm) is particularly bright in the reflected spectrum. What is the second thinnest wall thickness of the bubble?
