Question

Transmission through thin layers. In Fig. 35-42, 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.) Part of the light ends up in material 3 as ray 1'3 (the light does not reflect inside material 2) and 1'4 (the light reflects twice inside material 2). The waves of 1'3 and 1'4 interfere, and here we consider the nj type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). For this situation, each problem in Table 35-3 refers to the indexes of refraction nj, nz, and n3, the type of interference, the thin-layer thickness L in nanometers, and the wavelength A in nanometers of the light as measured in air. Where A is missing, give the wavelength that is in the visible range. Where L is missing, give the second least thickness or the third nj 57 1.55 58 1.32 59 1.68 60 1.50 61 1.32 62 1.68 63 1.40 64 1.40 65 1.60 66 1.60 67 1.50 68 1.55 Fig. 35-42 57 through 68. least thickness as indicated.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 35 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Transmission through thin layers. In Fig. 35-42, 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.) Part of the light ends up in material 3 as ray 1'3 (the light does not reflect inside material 2) and 1'4 (the light reflects twice inside material 2). The waves of 1'3 and 1'4 interfere, and here we consider the nj type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). For this situation, each problem in Table 35-3 refers to the indexes of refraction nj, nz, and n3, the type of interference, the thin-layer thickness L in nanometers, and the wavelength A in nanometers of the light as measured in air. Where A is missing, give the wavelength that is in the visible range. Where L is missing, give the second least thickness or the third nj 57 1.55 58 1.32 59 1.68 60 1.50 61 1.32 62 1.68 63 1.40 64 1.40 65 1.60 66 1.60 67 1.50 68 1.55 Fig. 35-42 57 through 68. least thickness as indicated.
From the textbook chapter Interference you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
