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?
