Two radio antennas A and B are placed 10.0 [m] apart as shown. They coherently emit identical radio waves with wavelength of 4.00 [m]. A detector (red dot) is initially placed at point O, a distance y above antenna B, where it registers the occurrence of m=+1 maximum. The detector is then moved along a straight line OP to a new location P that is directly to the right of antenna B. If the detector again registers m = +1 maximum at P, what is the distance between points O and P? 10.0 m B O A 5.70 m OB. 6.12 [m] O C. 10.9 [m] OD. 12.6 [m]

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.]
