Chapter 35, Problem 35.26E
A place of glass 9.00 cm long is placed in contact with a second plate and is held at a small angle with it by a metal strip 0.0800 mm thick placed under one end. The space between the plates is filled with air. The glass is illuminated from above with light having a wavelength in air of 656 nm. How many interference fringes are observed per centimeter in the reflected light?

White light is sent downward onto a horizontal thin film that is sandwiched between two materials. The indexes of refraction are 1.80 for the top material, 1.70 for the thin film, and 1.50 for the bottom material. The film thickness is 5.00* 10-7 m. Of the visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm) that result in fully constructive interference at an observer above the film, which is the (a) longer and (b) shorter wavelength? The materials and film are then heated so that the film thickness increases. (c) Does the light resulting in fully constructive interference shift toward longer or shorter wavelengths?
Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 575 nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on a screen that is 75.0 cm from the slits. The centers of the slits are 0.640 mm apart and the width of each slit is 0.434 mm.
If the intensity at the center of the central maximum is 4.20×10−4 W/m2, what is the intensity at a point on the screen that is 0.850 mm from the center of the central maximum?
A soap film (n=1.33) is formed in a loop of wire that is mounted vertically is not exactly uniform in thickness because of its weight, but wedge-shaped in cross section. When the film is illuminated with red light of wavelength 655 nm, one sees that a distance of 3.80 cm separates two bright fringes that are 3 orders apart. By how much does the film differ in thickness over this distance?
