a) Explain Cassie-Baxter state and Wenzel state.

b) If the contact angle of a flat surface is 100°, but on the same type of rough surface, the apparent contact angle is 120°, calculate the surface roughness r (assuming the water droplet is at Wenzel state) and the surface fraction f or Φs (assuming the water droplet is at Cassie-Baxter state). What is the meaning of the calculated r and f values?

c) Which state is more reasonable in real-life situations? Why?

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle ?a.(Figure 1) Since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. The indices of refraction in diamond are nred=2.410 for red light and nblue=2.450 for blue light. The surrounding air has nair=1.000. Note that the angles in the figure are not to scale.
