Water (n=1.33) in a shallow pan is covered by a thin film of oil that is 450 nm thick and has an index of refraction of 1.45. What visible wavelengths will not be present in the reflected light when the pan is illuminated with white light shining from directly above the pan? Please include a diagram and all relevant equations!

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.

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....

A thin film of oil (n = 1.28) is located on smooth, wet pavement. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the pavement, the film reflects most strongly red light at 640 nm and reflects no light at 427 nm. What is the minimum thickness of the oil film? nm

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 violet light of wavelength 405 nm, one sees that a distance of 2.20 cm separates two bright fringes that are 4 orders apart. By how much does the film differ in thickness over this distance?

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.
