A laboratory dish, 20 cm in diameter, is half-filled with water. One at a time, 0.45 μLμL drops of oil from a micropipette are dropped onto the surface of the water, where they spread out into a uniform thin film. After the first drop is added, the intensity of 650 nm light reflected from the surface is very low. As more drops are added, the reflected intensity increases then decrease again to a minimum after a total of 13 drops have been added.

What is the index of refraction of the oil?

A uniform film of TiO2, 1036 nm thick and having index of refraction 2.62, is spread uniformly over the surface of crown glass of refractive index 1.52. Light of wavelength 545 nm falls at normal incidence onto the film from air. You want to increase the thickness of this film so that the reflected light cancels. (B)After you make the adjustment in part (a), what is the path difference between the light reflected off the top of the film and...
