Chapter 26, Problem 19P

The lenses of a particular set of binoculars have a coating with index of refraction n = 1.38, and the glass itself has n = 1.52. If the lenses reflect a wavelength of 525 nm the most strongly, what is the minimum thickness of the coating?

Light of wavelength 580 nm falls on a calcite crystal of certain thickness. The emerging light is circularly polarized. What must be the thickness of such crystal?
Diffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through a slide and produces a pattern on a screen 24.0 cm distant, what range of sizes of the central maximum should be expected? Values outside this range might indicate a health concern and warrant further study.
A thin film of cryolite (nc = 1.27) is applied to a camera lens (ng = 1.64). The coating is designed to reflect wavelengths at the blue end of the spectrum and transmit wavelengths in the near-infrared. What minimum thickness gives high transmission at A? Answer in units of nm.
