A beam of light with wavelength 440 nm in air hits a thin piece of glass 10.28 microns thick (with refractive index 1.55) at an angle of 40.8 degrees to the normal. What is the path difference between the two reflections from the layers of the glass, in wavelengths? [Note to get the phase shift we multiply this number by 2π, but this is modulo 2π, i.e. any integer number of wavelengths are 2π phase shifts, equivalent to no phase shift... basically in terms of phase we only really need the non-integer part of your answer. Note also that for the phase shift we would need to add a π for the reflection off the glass-air interface.]

- Two interfering light waves have intensities of 20\,W\,m−2 and 40\,W\,m−2, and the phase difference between them at some point P is π/3. The intensity at P, in W m−2−2, including interference is:(give your answer as a decimal to 1 d.p. )arrow_forwardAssume the indices of refraction for air, water, and glass are 1.00, 1.33, and 1.50, respectively. When illuminated from above, a ray reflected from the air-water interface undergoes a phase shift of φ 1 = π, and a ray reflected at the water-glass interface also undergoes a phase shift of π. Thus, the two rays are unshifted in phase relative to each other due to reflection. For constructive interference, the path difference 2t must equal an integer number (m) of wavelengths in water. a. Derive the equation in terms of λ based on the situation above. b.
