Answer #1

in colder days when we exhale moist air, moist air is at higher temperature ( generally at body temperature) as compare to the surrounding.

when moist air comes in contact with glass (which is at lower temperature), moisture in air looses its latent heat & condenses on glass surface.

this happens only when glass temperature lower than dew point temperature of moist air.

{generally in colder days}

*dew point temperature of air : temperature at which water vapour in air condenses into liquid water.

Consider a glass block (n=1.5) that is covered by a thin transparent film (n=1.25). White light is incident normal to the film. When viewed in reflected light, fully destructive interference occurs at 600 nm and fully constructive interference at 700 nm. A) Calculate the thickness of the film. B) How much light (%) will pass through the film into the glass?

A thin film in air is made by putting a thin layer of acetone (n = 1.25) on a layer of water (n = 1.33). When visible light (400nm – 700 nm) shines normally on the film an observed from above, the bright reflected light looks kind of “purplish” with red light of wavelength 650 nm mixed some blue giving it that appearance and “greenish” light of wavelength 520 nm is completely destroyed. Determine the thickness of the acetone film....
