A beam of 580-nm light passes through two closely spaced glass plates at close to normal incidence as shown in Figure P27.23. For what minimum nonzero value of the plate separation d is the transmitted light bright?
A glass sheet 1.10 μm thick is suspended in air. In reflected light, there are gaps in the visible spectrum at 573 nm and 645.00 nm. Calculate the minimum value of the index of refraction ?n of the glass sheet that produces this effect. ?=
White light is incident normally on a glass lens (n=1.52) that is coated with a film of MgF2 (n=1.38). For what minimum thickness of the film will the reflections at the two interfaces result in total destructive interference of yellow light of wavelength 580 nm (in air)?
1. a. If a piece of glass (n = 1.5) is coated with a transparent plastic (n = 2.0), will there be aphase shift in either of the beams reflecting off the interfaces (air/plastic and plastic/glass)? Howcan you tell, without doing the experiment, whether or not there will be a phase shift in eitherbeam? Be specific about what rays are reflecting off what materials. b. So what thickness or thicknesses give the maximum reflection? What thickness or thicknesses(hint: it’s thicknesses) give the minimum reflection? Assume that a light of wavelength 500. nmis used, and you may leave the answer in nm. Yes, this is a choice between equations 35.17 and35.18, but your answer to part a should be helpful in deciding which set.
To keep unwanted light from reflecting from the surface of eyeglasses or other lenses, a thin film of a material with an index of refraction n = 1.38 iscoated onto the plastic lens (n = 1.55). What is the thinnest film that will minimize reflection for λ = 550 nm, the middle of the visible-light spectrum?

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What must be the thickness of the liquid layer if normally incident light with ? = 339 nm in air is to be strongly reflected?

Fringes are observed due to monochromatic light in a Michelson interferometer. When the movable mirror is translated by 0.07 mm, a shift of 300 fringes is observed. What is the wavelength of the light? What displacement of the fringe system takes place when a flake of glass of index 1.51 and 0.004 mm thickness is placed in one arm of the interferometer? (Assumethat the light beam is normal to the glass surface.)
Interference effects are produced at point P on a screen as a result of direct rays from a 500-nm source and reflected rays offa mirror, as shown in Figure P24.67. If the source is L = 100 m to the left of the screen and h = 1.00 cm above the mirror, find the distance y (in millimeters) to the first dark band above the mirror.
In the double-slit experiment, suppose the electric fields of the two waves arriving at apoint P on the screen is given by E1= sin(1015t) in μV/m E2= sin(1015t + 24 rad) in μV/mwhere time t is in seconds.
