Textbook Question

Chapter 35, Problem 3Q

Figure 35-22 shows two light rays that are initially exactly in phase and that reflect from several glass surfaces. Neglect the slight slant in the path of the light in the second arrangement. (a) What is the path length difference of the rays? In wavelengths λ, (b) what should that path length difference equal if the rays are to be exactly out of phase when they emerge, and (c) what is the smallest value of d that will allow that final phase difference?

White light is incident from air onto a triangular prism at a 55.0º angle with respect to the normal. The prism has an index of refraction of 1.45 for red light and 1.50 for violet light and the apex angle of the prism is 60º. Take nair=1.00 for all wavelengths.a) What is the angular separation (dispersion angle) of the two ends of the visible spectrum while in the prism? b) What is the angular separation (dispersion angle) of the two ends of the visible spectrum upon exiting the prism?

Under what conditions will a person observe no reflected light? Assume that ttt is the film thickness, mmm = 1, 2, 3,..., nnn is the index of refraction of the film, and λλlambda is the wavelength of the light. Express your answer in terms of the variables m, n, λlambda, and appropriate constants.

Laser light of wavelength 460 nmnm is traveling in air and shines at normal incidence onto the flat end of a transparent plastic rod that has nn = 1.30. The end of the rod has a thin coating of a transparent material that has refractive index 1.75. a)What is the minimum (nonzero) thickness of the coating for which there is maximum transmission of the light into the rod? b)What is the minimum (nonzero) thickness of the coating for which transmission into the rod is minimized?
