A thin film suspended in air is 0.410 mm thick and is illuminated with white light incident perpendicularly on its surface. The index of refraction of the film is 1.50. At what wavelength will visible light that is reflected from the two surfaces of the film undergo fully constructive interference?
A bubble is formed by a soap film with index of refraction n=1.3 and a thickness of 325nm. When illuminated by white light and viewed directly (perpendicular to the surface), what wavelength in the visible spectrum (375nm to 725nm) will be strongly reflected?
A thin glass plate (n=1.56) rests on a small pool of water (n=1.333). Light is
incident from air onto the surface of the glass plate. Red light of wavelength 680nm
(in air) is observed to be most strongly reflected from the glass. What are the three
thinnest possible thicknesses of the glass plate?

- To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a nonreflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?arrow_forwardA thin layer of oil with index of refraction no = 1.47 is floating above the water. The index of refraction of water is nw = 1.3. The index of refraction of air is na = 1. A light with wavelength λ = 325 nm goes in from the air to oil and water. Part (a) Express the wavelength of the light in the oil, λo, in terms of λ and no. Part (b) Express the minimum thickness of the film that will result in destructive interference, tmin, in terms of λo. Part (c) Express tmin in terms of λ and no. Part (d) Solve for the numerical value of tmin in nm.arrow_forwardWhite light falls at an angle of 45° on a parallel soap film of refractive index 1.33.

- In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 1.40 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a chamber that holds a gas sample. The refractive indexes of the gases on either side of the glass are very close to unity. To determine the thickness of the glass, you shine coherent light of wavelength l0 in vacuum at normal incidence onto the surface of the glass. When l0 = 496 nm, constructive interference occurs for light that is reflected at the two surfaces of the glass. You find that the next shorter wavelength in vacuum for which there is constructive interference is 386 nm. (a) Use these measurements to calculate the thickness of the glass. (b) What is the longest wavelength in vacuum for which there is constructive interference for the reflected light?arrow_forwardWhite light is incident on a soap film at an angle of sin 5 and the reflected light on examination by the spectroscope shows dark bands. The consecutive dark bands corresponds to wavelength 6100 Å and 6000 Å. If the refractive index of the film is 4/3, calculate its thickness.arrow_forwardWhite light is sent downward onto a horizontal thin film that is sandwiched between two materials. The indexes of refraction are 1.80 for the top material, 1.70 for the thin film, and 1.50 for the bottom material. The film thickness is 5.00* 10-7 m. Of the visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm) that result in fully constructive interference at an observer above the film, which is the (a) longer and (b) shorter wavelength? The materials and film are then heated so that the film thickness increases. (c) Does the light resulting in fully constructive interference shift toward longer or shorter wavelengths?arrow_forward
- When white light illuminates an oil film on water and the reflected light is viewed perpendicular to the surface of the water, no green light at 512 nm is reflected but there is a strong presence of red light with a wavelength of 640 nm. Determine the thickness of the oil film. Take the index of refraction of oil to be 1.28.arrow_forwardA thin layer of oil resides on top of motionless water. The index of refraction for the oil is 1.18 and for water is 1.33. A band of white light in air, strikes the oil layer at normal incidence. If the oil layer is 753 nm thick, the shortest wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that is most strongly reflected is nm, while the longest wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that is most strongly reflected is nm. Answer with a number rounded to only 3 digits and note that the unlts are nanometers.arrow_forwardWhite light reflects at normal incidence from the top and bottom surfaces of a glass plate 1n = 1.522. There is air above and below the plate. Constructive interference is observed for light whose wavelength in air is 477.0 nm. What is the thickness of the plate if the next longer wavelength for which there is constructive interference is 540.6 nm?arrow_forward
- A thin uniform film of refractive index 1.750 is placed on a sheet of glass with a refractive index 1.50. At room temperature (22.4 °C), this film is just thick enough for light with a wavelength 580.5 nm reflected off the top of the film to be canceled by light reflected from the top of the glass. After the glass is placed in an oven and slowly heated to 176 °C, you find that the film cancels reflected light with a wavelength 588.0 nm Part A What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the film?
