A manufacturer wants to improve the performance of a  battery pack by reducing the amount of light reflected from its surface. You suggest applying a thin film of material with an index of refraction = 1.42 can help. These particular solar cells rely on light with a wavelength (in air) λ = 250 nm. The index of refraction of the material below the thin film is greater than 1.42. What are the phase shifts at the upper and lower boundries? What is the formula for interference condition between waves in upper and lower boundries? t= thickness of the film

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between...
Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.40. The thickness t of the air layer can be varied. Light with wavelength λ in air is at normal incidence onto the top of the air film. There is constructive interference between the light reflected at the top and bottom surfaces of the air film when its thickness is 700 nm. For the same wavelength of light...

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...

Red light with wavelength 600[nm] is incident from air (n = 1.0) onto a thin film of index n = 1.5. The thin film coats a thick slab of material which has index n = 2.0.   1: For what minimum film thickness would the thin film produce no significant overall reflection due to destructive interference? 2: Did the reflections off of those two interfaces have the same phase change (both 0º or both 180º)? Or did the reflections off of...

A student shines a variable light source directly onto a thin film of oil that is on the surface of a piece of plastic. The oil has an index of refraction of 1.62 while the plastic has an index of refraction of 1.44. The student adjusts the light source until the first bright reflection occurs, which they note occurs when the wavelength is 560 nm. Q1. At which if any does the light undergo a 180 phase change on reflection?...
