A thin piece of glue of index of refraction n=1.33is formed in the shape of a wedge. The wedge is 9μmat its thickest point.light of wavelength 610 nm is shone from above. The wedge is 8cm long

(a) When viewed in transmission ,what is the distance between the corner and the m=7 maximum?

(b) What is the distance between two consecutive bright fringes viewed in reflection?

(c) What are you most likely to see at the corner, a bright or a dark fringe?Explain?

(d) How many full bright fringes do you see if the wedge were to float on a liquid of n=1.4

(e) How much larger is the distance between two dark fringes viewed in reflection as opposed to that obtained when viewed in transmission?

A thin film having an index of refraction of 1.50 is surrounded by air. It is illuminated normally by white light. Analysis of the reflected light shows that the wavelengths 360, 450, and 600 nm are the only missing wavelengths in the visible portion of the spectrum. That is, for those wavelengths, there is destructive interference.
