3.1 What is the minimum possible thickness of a soap bubble suppose it looks green
(λ=500nm) when viewed at an angle of 45 degrees from the surface normal of the
bubble? What is its color when viewed from the surface normal direction? Why the
color looks grey before a soap bubble breaks? Suppose soap water has a refractive index
of n=1.33 for all wavelengths of light.

A beam of white light goes from air into water at an incident angle of 75.0°.
At what angles are the red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) parts of the light
refracted? Are the angles going to be different if the light strikes a crown
glass slab, instead of water? Explain.
Consider the radiation with the following wavelengths:
1. 600 nm
II. 200 nm
III. 1200 nm
