Explain why a wave model of light is needed to understand the interference pattern produced in the double-slit experiment. Give two examples of wave-like behaviour of light.
7. Anti-reflective coatings on lenses use thin-film interference to eliminate the reflection of a particular color. Suppose a glass lens (ng = 1.5) is covered with a thin film (nf = 1.38) to prevent green light (λ = 531 nm) from being reflected.
Part (a) Write an expression for the minimum thickness the film can have, t.
Part (b) Calculate the minimum thickness, t, in nanometers?

A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 933-nm light from a He-Ne laser. Because the lecture hall is very large, the interference pattern will be projected on a wall that is 5.0 m from the slits. For easy viewing by all students in the class, the professor wants the distance between the m = 0 and m = 1 and maxima to be 35 cm. What slit separation is required in order to produce the desired interference pattern?

- 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?

In some ground beetles, parallel ridges in the cuticle function as a reflection grating, the source of the rainbow colors in the reflection from the beetle as shown. An analysis of the grating spacing can provide valuable taxonomic information. A researcher illuminated a specimen of ground beetle with a beam of yellow light with λ = 570 nm.
