Chapter 35 Problem 74

Question

Tho rectangular glass plates (n = 1.60) are in contact along one edge and are separated along the opposite edge (Fig. 35-44). Light with a wavelength of 600 nm is incident perpendicularly onto the top plate. The air between the plates acts as a thin film. Nine dark fringes and eight bright fringes are observed from above the top plate. If the distance between the two plates along the separated edges is increased by 600 nm, how many dark fringes will there then be across the top plate?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 35 problem number 74 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Tho rectangular glass plates (n = 1.60) are in contact along one edge and are separated along the opposite edge (Fig. 35-44). Light with a wavelength of 600 nm is incident perpendicularly onto the top plate. The air between the plates acts as a thin film. Nine dark fringes and eight bright fringes are observed from above the top plate. If the distance between the two plates along the separated edges is increased by 600 nm, how many dark fringes will there then be across the top plate?
From the textbook chapter Interference you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
