Laser light of wavelength 460 nmnm is traveling in air and shines at normal incidence onto the flat end of a transparent plastic rod that has nn = 1.30. The end of the rod has a thin coating of a transparent material that has refractive index 1.75. a)What is the minimum (nonzero) thickness of the coating for which there is maximum transmission of the light into the rod? b)What is the minimum (nonzero) thickness of the coating for which transmission into the rod is minimized?

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 uniform film of refractive index 1.750 is placed on a sheet of glass of refractive index 1.50. At room temperature (20.0°C), this film is just thick enough for light with wavelength 582.4 nm reflected off the top of the film to be cancelled by light reflected from the top of the glass. After the glass is placed in an oven and slowly heated to 170°C, you find that the film cancels reflected light with wavelength 588.5 nm. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the film? (Ignore any changes in the refractive index of the film due to the temperature change.)
