1. a. If a piece of glass (n = 1.5) is coated with a transparent plastic (n = 2.0), will there be a
phase shift in either of the beams reflecting off the interfaces (air/plastic and plastic/glass)? How
can you tell, without doing the experiment, whether or not there will be a phase shift in either
beam? Be specific about what rays are reflecting off what materials.
b. So what thickness or thicknesses give the maximum reflection? What thickness or thicknesses
(hint: it's thicknesses) give the minimum reflection? Assume that a light of wavelength 500. nm
is used, and you may leave the answer in nm. Yes, this is a choice between equations 35.17 and
35.18, but your answer to part a should be helpful in deciding which set.
A hunter at distance of 0.16 km aims to shoot two squirrels sitting 10 cm apart on the same branch of a
tree. He claims he can do this without the help of a telescope sight on his rifle. The wavelength of light
in a vacuum is 498 nm. Determine the diameter of the pupils of his eyes that would be required to
resolve the squirrels as separate objects.
