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.

A beam of microwaves strikes the metal perpendicularly, passes through the two slits, and then proceeds toward a wall some distance away. You know that the wavelength of the radiationis 1.00 cm ±5%, but you wish to measure it more precisely. Moving a microwave detector along the wall to study the interference pattern, you measure the position of the m = 1 bright fringe, which leads to a successful measurement of the wavelength of the radiation.arrow_forwardCoherent light with wavelength 500 nm passes through narrow slits separated by 0.340 mm.

- 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.
