A diver is swimming underneath an oil slick with a thickness of 200nm and an index of refraction of 1.50. A white light shines straight down towards the diver from above the oil slick. The index of refraction of water is 1.33. What is the longest wavelength of the light in the water that is transmitted most easily to the diver?

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off the surface. She aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). The index of refraction of water is 1.33.Part A: The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot? t= 313nmPart B: Suppose the oil had an index...
Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular to its surface. Take the blue wavelength to be 465 nm and the index of refraction of oil to be 1.4. Your answer should be a number with one decimal place, do not include unit. 1 nm = 10m na = 1 ng 1.33 Water
A transparent oil of index of refraction 1.15 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum of reflection with normally incident green light (wavelength 500 nm in air). Assuming the maximum occurs in the first order, determine the thickness of the oil slick. nm
Problem 7: An oil slick on water is 120 nm thick and illuminated by white light incident perpendicular to its surface. What is the longest wavelength (in nm) which is constructively reflected, given its index of refraction is 1.40? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
A thin film of olive oil (index of refraction noil = 1.46) of thickness d is floating on the surface of still water (index of refraction nwater = 1.33). The index of refraction of air is nair = 1.00. A red laser of wavelength λ=600nm=6.00×10−7m is incident on the film of olive oil from above as shown. The laser reflects at the air-oil and oil-water interfaces and interferes with itself. Answer the following questions: 1. What does the thickness d...
a) An oil slick on water is 108 nm thick and illuminated by white light incident perpendicular to its surface. What color does the oil appear (what is the most constructively reflected wavelength, in nanometers), given its index of refraction is 1.41? (Assume the index of refraction of water is 1.33.) wavelength________ nm b)A ruby laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an angle equal to...

In this problem, use 473 nm for the wavelength of blue light and the index of refraction of oil to be 1.40. Calculate the minimum thickness (in nanometers) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light that is incident perpendicular to the oil's surface.
A thin film of oil (n. =1.50) with varying thickness floats on water (nw = 1.33). When it is illuminated from above by white light, the reflected colors are as shown in the figure below. In air, the wavelength of yellow light is 580 nm. (a) What is the oil's thickness t at point B? (hint: this is the second thinnest region for yellow light]. (b) Estimate (no calculation) the oil's thickness at point A. [hint : use the result...
An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 26000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your...
