A film of oil lies on wet pavement. The refractive index of the oil exceeds that of the water. The film has the minimum nonzero thickness such that it appears dark due to destructive interference when viewed in red light (wavelength = 640.0 nm in vacuum). Assuming that the visible spectrum extends from 380 to 750 nm, for which visible wavelength(s) in vacuum will the film appear bright due to constructive interference?

The great russian physicist Lev Landau developed a famous entry exam to test his students. This "Theoretical Minimum" contained everything he considered elementary for a young theoretical physicist. Despite its name, it was notoriously hard and comprehensive, and in Landau's time, only 43 students passed it.
I wonder if anyone can provide the list of topics, or even a copy of the exam?
(I'm sure I'd have no chance to pass, but I'd like to see it out of a sense of sportmanship ;-). Also, I think it would make quite a good curriculum of theoretical physics (at least pre 1960).)

A 35-year-old patent clerk needs glasses of 50-cm focal length to read patent applications that he holds 25 cm from his eyes. Five years later, he notices that while wearing the same glasses, he has to hold the patent applications 40 cm from his eyes to see them clearly.
What should be the focal length of new glasses so that he can read again at 25 cm?

Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.1 m, a weight of WL = 58.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90 kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following.
(a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.)
N1=
N2=
F1=
(b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.)

Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie’s hand a distance 1.0 m above the ground with an initial speed of 10 m/s at an angle 30◦ with respect to the horizontal. Sarah catches the ball 1.0 m above the ground.
(a) What is the horizontal component of the ball’s velocity right before Sarah catches it?
(b) What is the vertical component of the ball’s velocity right before Sarah catches it?
(c) What is the time the ball is in the air?
(d) What is the distance between the two girls?
(e) After catching the ball, Sarah throws it back to Julie. However, Sarah throws it too hard so it is over Julie’s head when it reaches Julie’s horizontal position. Assume the ball leaves Sarah’s hand a distance 1.0 m above the ground, reaches a maximum height of 6 m above the ground, and takes 1.115 sec to get directly over Julie’s head. What is the speed of the ball and the angle with the horizontal when it leaves Sarah’s hand?
(f) How high above the ground will the ball be when it gets to Julie?

1) A ball is thrown from the top of a roof at an angle of 20 o with respect to the vertical. 1 s later a ball is dropped from the top of the roof
a) If the height of the roof is 20 m, determine the velocity with which the first ball must be thrown in
order for both balls to land at exactly the same time.
b) Imagine the velocity of the first ball is now known, and instead it is the height of the building which
is unknown. Can you obtain an equation for the height of the building which would result in both balls
landing on the floor at the same time

2. Draw a diagram (concept map) that depicts the relationships between resolution, numerical aperture, refractive index, depth of focus, magnification, working distance, and wavelength. Be sure to indicate whether relationships are positively or inversely related. Note that not all parameters need to have a relationship.
