A thin film of oil (no=1.50) with varying thickness floats on water (nw=1.33). When it is illuminated from above by white light, the reflected colors are as shown in the figure. In air, the wavelength of yellow light is 580nm. What is the oil's thickness t at point B?
A cup of water (n = 1.33) sitting on a table outside in the sunlight is filled to the top. The sun
happens to be 52° above the horizon and you notice the bottom of the cup has just become
completely shaded. The cup has a depth of 20 cm and you realize you can calculate the width
of the bottom of the cup.
a. Find the width, w in cm.
b. If the wavelength of the incident light is 550 nm, determine the wavelength of the refracted
light in the cup of water.
