Reflection by thin layers. In the figure, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between (thicker) materials 1 and 3. (The rays are tilted only for clarity.) The waves of rays ry and r2 interfere, and here we consider the type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). The table below provides the indexes of refraction n₁, n₂, and ng, the type of interference, and the wavelength A in nanometers of the light as measured in air. Give the third least thickness L.

A plastic bubble of thickness 102 nm has its strongest (m = 1) reflection maximum at 604 nm. What is the index of refraction n for the bubble? (Hint: If you leave the wavelength in nm, the answer will be in nm. No conversion necessary.) (No unit.)
A thin layer of oil resides on top of motionless water. The index of refraction for the oil is 1.18 and for water is 1.33. A band of white light in air, strikes the oil layer at normal incidence.

The index of refraction of water is 1.33. If you (or a fish) were under calm water swimming in the daytime, looking upward you would see a bright circle of light above you at the surface. The circle is because of total internal reflection, and the boundary is where light from below is totally reflected if it is beyond the boundary. What would you see just at the inside edge, where there is the light of the sky coming in? Hint: Camera lenses that produce this effect are called "fisheye" lenses. An image of yourself, because of the law of reflection. Directly overhead, probably the Sun, because the rays in air at that point are perpendicular to the surface. The horizon of the pool or lake, because rays in the air at that position are horizontal and parallel to the surface. The bottom of the lake, reflected in the water., because of total reflection.
An acoustic waveguide consists of a long cylindrical tube with radius rr designed to channel sound waves, as shown in (Figure 1). A tone with frequency ff is emitted from a small source at the center of one end of this tube. Depending on the radius of the tube and the frequency of the tone, pressure nodes can develop along the tube axis where rays reflected from the periphery constructively interfere with direct rays.
