A glass plate (n = 1.59) is covered with a thin, uniform layer
of oil (n = 1.25). A light beam of variable wavelength from air is
incident normally on the oil surface. Observation of the reflected
beam shows constructiveinterference at 630 nm.

A thin film of alcohol (n=1.36) lies on a flat glass
plate (n=1.51). When monochromatic light, whose wavelength can be
changed, is incident normally, the reflected light is a minimum
for λ=512 nm and a maximum
for λ= 650 nm. What is the
minimum thickness of the film? (Answer: 471 nm)

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....
