1. A non-reflective coating that has a thickness of 162 nm (n =1.45) is deposited on top of a substrate of glass (n =1.50). What wavelength of visible light is most strongly reflected if it is illuminated perpendicular to its surface?
2. You are using a hydrogen discharge tube and high quality red and blue light filters as the light source for a Michelson interferometer. The hydrogen discharge tube provides light of several different wavelengths (colors) in the visible range. The red light in the hydrogen spectrum has a wavelength of 656.3 nm and the blue light has a wavelength of 434.0 nm. When using the discharge tube and the red filter as the light source, you view a bright red spot in the viewing area of the interferometer. You now move the movable mirror away from the beam splitter and observe 142 bright spots. You replace the red filter with the blue filter and observe a bright blue spot in the interferometer. You now move the movable mirror towards the beam splitter and observe 118 bright spots. Determine the final displacement (include sign) of the moveable mirror. (Assume the positive direction is away from the beam splitter.)
