Textbook Question
Chapter 35, Problem 35.25E
Two rectangular pieces of plane glass are laid one upon the other on a table. A thin strip of paper is placed between them at one edge so that a very thin wedge of air is formed. The plates are illuminated at normal incidence by 546-nm light from a mercury-vapor lamp. Interference fringes are formed, with 15.0 fringes per centimeter. Find the angle of the wedge.

How far away from the center of a screen is the third dark fringe formed by laser light of wavelength 540 nm that is incident upon a single rectangular slit? The diffraction pattern forms on a screen located at a distance of 1.05 m from the slit, and the width of the central maximum is 3.9 cm.
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)?
