A beam of white light goes from air into water at an incident angle of 75.0. At what angles are the red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) parts of the light refracted?
A film of oil on water will appear dark when it is very thin, because the path length difference becomes small compared with the wavelength of light and there is a phase shift at the top surface. If it becomes dark when the path length difference is less than one-fourth the wavelength, what is the thickest the oil can be and appear dark at all visible wavelengths?
