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. (you only need to worry about the red and green wavelengths, not the blue)

White light is shone on a very thin layer of mica (n = 1.57) that is surrounded by air (n = 1.00) above the film and the film rests on a material with index n = 1.80. Above the layer of mica, interference maxima for two wavelengths (and no others in between) are seen; one blue wavelength of 480 nm, and one yellow wavelength of 560 nm. What is the thickness of the mica layer? If the thickness of the...

The range of light that is visible to human eyes lies between the wavelengths of 400 nm and 700 nm. Suppose a thin film of water (n = 1.33) lies on a surface of glass (n = 1.52). The film has a thickness of 376 nm. What wavelength of visible light will be strongly reflected from the film? (n of air = 1.00) What color is that?

A thin layer of a material with an index of refraction 1.50 is placed on top of a translucent slab with an index of refraction of 1.80. Air surrounds both. When a source of white light is shown on the surface, the top layer greatly reduces the intensity of reflected light having a 630-nm wavelength. (a) Find the top layer’s minimum thickness. (b) Does it reduce other reflected wavelengths in the visible spectrum? Which ones? (c) If 25.0nm were shaved...
