The wavelength of light changes when it passes from one medium into another. Suppose green light at 550.0 nm passesfrom air into glass (n = 1.5). a. What is its wavelength in glass? b. What is its frequency? c. Do you see the same color in both media?
A certain grade of crude oil has an index of refraction of 1.25. A ship accidentally spills 1.00 m3 of this oil into the ocean, and the oil spreads into a thin, uniform slick. 11 the Him produces a first-order maximum of light of wavelength 500 mm normally incident on it, how much surface area of the ocean does the oil slick cover? Assume the index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.34.
An oil slick on water is 120 nm thick and illuminated by white light incident perpendicular to its surface. What color does the oil appear (what is the most constructively reflected wavelength), given its index of refraction is 1.40?

You see a light approaching you from a distance on the highway. Is it a motorcycle (one light) or a car (two lights)? You may assume the air is perfectly clear and still, and the headlights emit exclusively blue light (λo = 475 nm). Q1) Assume your pupil (the aperture of your eye) is 5 mm in diameter. If a car with two blue headlights that are separated by 1.5 meters is approaching you, at what maximum distance from you could you still distinguish the two lights clearly? (Assume that diffraction at the aperture of your eye is the only factor in determining resolution; you may ignore the index of refraction inside your eye.) Q2) Rod cells in the fovea (the central part of your retina) are packed closely together. There would be no point in having rod cells packed more tightly than needed to resolve two points limited by diffraction. If the eyeball is roughly spherical with a diameter of 25 mm, calculate the approximate separation needed between adjacent rod cells? (You may ignore…
The wavelength of a light wave is 700 nm in air; this light appears red. If this wave enters a pool of water, its wavelength becomes λair/n = 530 nm. If you were swimming underwater, the light would still appear red. Given this, what property of a wave determines its color?
