Two beams of light start together and then hit a slab of two different kinds of material. This will cause one of the beams to get "ahead" of the other; that is, one will emerge from the slab sooner than the other. The beams have a wavelength of 680 nm outside the slabs, and the slab is d = 1.10 microns thick. If the top half of the slab has index of refraction 1.65 and the bottom has index 1.37, by what time interval will one of the beams be ahead of the other once they've gone through the slab?
a beam of white light is shined at normal incidence onto the outside of a soap bubble (index of soap solution = 1.340). An observer looking at the bubble, opposite to the direction of the beam, notices that green light (Lambda = 555.0 nm) is particularly bright in the reflected spectrum. What is the second thinnest wall thickness of the bubble?
In the figure, light from ray A refracts from material 1 (n₁ = 1.73) into a thin layer of material 2 (n2 = 1.80), crosses that layer, and is then
incident at the critical angle on the interface between materials 2 and 3 (n3 = 1.40). (a) What is the value of incident angle BA? (b) If 8A is
decreased, does part of the light refract into material 3?
Light from ray B refracts from material 1 into the thin layer, crosses that layer, and is then incident at the critical angle on the interface
between materials 2 and 3. (c) What is the value of incident angle Og? (d) If Og is decreased, does part of the light refract into material 3?
