41 through 52 GO 43, 51 SSM 47, 51 Reflection by thin layers. In Fig. 35-42, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between (thicker) materials 1 and 3. (The rays are tilted only for clarity.) The waves of rays r1 and r2 interfere, and here we consider the type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). For this situation, each problem in Table 35-2 refers to the indexes of refraction n1, n2, and n3, the type of interference, the thin-layer thickness L in nanometers, and the wavelength λ in nanometers of the light as measured in air. Where λ is missing, give the wavelength that is in the visible range. Where L is missing, give the second least thickness or the third least thickness as indicated.

It is pro- duced by light reflecting once inside the drops. Rarer is the sec- ondary rainbow described in Module 33-5, produced by light reflecting twice inside the drops (Fig. 33-68a). (a) Show that the angular deviation of light entering and then leaving a spherical water drop is Odev = (180°)k + 20, – 2(k + 1)8,, where k is the number of internal reflections. Using the procedure of Problem 77, find the angle of minimum deviation for (b) red light and (c) blue light in a secondary rainbow. (d) What is the angular width of that rainbow (Fig. 33-21d)? The tertiary rainbow depends on three internal reflections (Fig. 33-68b). It probably occurs but, as noted in Module 33-5, cannot be seen with the eye because it is very faint and lies in the bright sky surrounding the Sun.
