a.) A particular patch of a vegetable oil (n=1.30) floating in water (n=1.33) is 530 nm thick. What is the longest wavelength which will undergo constructive interference on reflecting from the surface?

b). For a particular application, you want to apply an anti-reflective coating to glasses which will minimize reflection of green light with a wavelength of 550 nm. The index of refraction is ncoat= 1.30, and it will be applied on glass with index of refraction of nglass= 1.50. If you want the coating to be as thin as possible, how thick should be?

Light with wavelength 530 nm in air (n = 1) passes through a soap bubble (n = 1.33), where its wavelength becomes ≈ 400 nm.

An oil film (n = 1.45) floating on the surface of water has white light incident on it at normal angle of incidence (i.e. perpendicular to the film). The film is 280 nm thick. For this problem, you will need to know that the visible spectrum consists of wavelengths of light from 400 to 700 nm. (a) What type of reflection (hard or soft) occurs at the air-oil interface, and what type of reflection (hard or soft) occurs at the...

A thin oil slick (no = 1.50) floats on water(nw = 1.33). When a beam of white light strikes this film at normal incidence from air, the only enhanced reflected colors are red (650 nm) and violent (390 nm). From this information, deduce the minimum thickness t of the oil slick.

3. An oil well contains water at the bottom, oil floating on it, and air above the oil. You performed two time-of-arrival measurements with an instrument that measures the depth of the well using a light beam. The first reading on the instrument is t1= 1.33us and the second one is t2= 1.29 us taken after a certain amount of oil was pumped out. Calculate the change in the oil level considering the oil refractive index 1.46.
