Chapter 35, Problem 35.47P

White light reflects at normal incidence from the top and bottom surfaces of a glass plate (n = 1.52). There is air above and below the plate. Constructive interference is observed for light whose wavelength in air is 477.0 nm. What is the thickness of the plate if the next longer wavelength for which there is constructive interference is 540.6 nm?

White light reflects at normal incidence from the top and bottom surfaces of a glass plate 1n = 1.522. There is air above and below the plate. Constructive interference is observed for light whose wavelength in air is 477.0 nm. What is the thickness of the plate if the next longer wavelength for which there is constructive interference is 540.6 nm?
A thin glass plate (n=1.56) rests on a small pool of water (n=1.333). Light is incident from air onto the surface of the glass plate. Red light of wavelength 680nm (in air) is observed to be most strongly reflected from the glass. What are the three thinnest possible thicknesses of the glass plate?
