A disabled tanker leaks kerosene (n = 1.20) into the Persian Gulf, creating a large slick on top of the water (n = 1.30). (a) If you are looking straight down from an airplane, while the Sun is overhead, at a region of the slick where its thickness is 445 nm , for which wavelength(s) of visible light is the reflection brightest because of constructive interference? (b) If you are scuba diving directly under this same region of the slick, for which wavelength(s) of visible light is the transmitted intensity strongest? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Figure (a) below shows a lens with radius of curvature R = 5.9 m and the diameter D = 22 mm lying on a flat glass plate and illuminated from above by light with wavelength λ = 628 nm. Figure (b) below (a photograph taken from above the lens) shows that circular interference fringes (called Newton's rings) appear, associated with the variable thickness d of the air film between the lens and the plate. In this Newton's rings experiment (a) how many bright rings are produced? (b) How many bright rings would be produced if the arrangement were immersed in water (n = 1.33)? (a) (b) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
