Both sides of a uniform film that has index of refraction n and thickness d are in contact with air. For normal incidence of light, an intensity minimum is observed in the reflected light at λ2 and an intensity maximum is observed at λ1, where λ1 > λ2. (a) Assuming no intensity minima are observed between λ1 and λ2, find an expression for the integer m in Equations 27.13 and 27.14 in terms of the wavelengths λ1 and λ2. (b) Assuming n = 1.40, λ1 = 500 nm, and λ2 = 370 nm, determine the best estimate for the thickness of the film.
Two polarizing sheets P1 and P2 are placed together with their transmission axes oriented at an angle to each other. What is when only 25% of the maximum transmitted light intensity passes through them?
If bis Brewster’s angle for light reflected from the top of an interface between two substances, and bis Brewster’s angle for light reflected from below, prove that b+b=90.0
If a microscope can accept light from objects at angles as large as =70 , what is the smallest structure that can be resolved when illuminated with light of wavelength 500 nm and (a) the specimen is in air? (b) When the specimen is immersed in oil, with index of refraction of 1.52?
To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a nonreflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
Show that if you have three polarizing filters, with the second at an angle of 45.0to the first and at third at an angle of 90.0to the first, the intensity of light passed by the first will be reduced to 25.0% of its value. (This is in contrast to having only the first and third, which reduces the intensity to zero, so that placing the second between them increases the intensity of the transmitted light.)
An acoustic wave strikes a boundary at medium 1 (1540 m/sec) with a 45 degrees. Upon entering medium 2 (980 m/sec) with oblique incidence, what will happen to the transmission angle?

Light enters from air into glass (dark blue) with an index of refraction of ng = 1.774 , which is surrounded by a plastic (light blue) with np = 1.427. What is the critical angle (in degrees) for total internal reflection at the glass - plastic interface?

A ray of white light traveling through air enters a block of glass that has an index of refraction of 1.44 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.46 for the violet end. If the ray has an angle of incidence of 60.0 degrees with respect to the normal of the interface boundary, what's the angular separation between the red and violet ends of the spectrum within the glass?
