An instructor places a fluid substance, with a refractive index of 1.63, between two horizontal panes of flat glass (each of which has
n = 1.40).
He then illuminates the assembly from above with monochromatic light
(λ = 690 nm).
What is the minimum thickness (in nm) that the liquid layer must have, if the light is to be strongly reflected back toward its source?

A technician places a fluid substance, with a refractive index of 1.65, between two horizontal panes of flat glass (each of which has n = 1.45). He then illuminates the assembly from above with monochromatic light (λ = 350 nm). What is the minimum thickness (in nm) that the liquid layer must have, if the light is to be strongly reflected back toward its source?
Two flat panes of glass (80 cm long, 15 cm wide, 4 mm thick) are on your lab table directly under a nearly monochromatic (wavelength 650 nm) light source. At one end one pane is resting on the other; at their other ends they are separated by a single thickness of paper. You notice that the light is strongly reflected only in multiple bands occurring one every 2.5 cm. How thick. is the paper?
In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 2.40 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a chamber that holds a gas sample. The refractive indexes of the gases on either side of the glass are very close to unity. To determine the thickness of the glass, you shine coherent light of wavelength λ0 in vacuum at normal incidence onto the surface of the glass. When λ0= 496 nm, constructive interference occurs for light...

Question 5:
How would dust and oil on the glass plates affect the
results?
EXPERIMENT 10 THIN FILM INTERFERENCE Light from a monochromatic source is shined downward on two glass plates that are separated at one end by a hair. Light that is reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the wedge-shaped thin film of air undergoes interference, and a series of dark and light lines are seen. By counting the number of dark or light lines over a...
Question 6:
What percentage error would result from miscounting
the bars by one?

Partner: Date Name 11 Snell's Law Introduction When light passes from one material to another it is always bent away from its original path. This process is known as refraction and the change in direction depends on the change in optical density (or refractive index) of the two materials. A larger change in refractive index results in a larger change in angle between incoming and outgoing light beams. A light beam bends closer to the normal in the material with...
