In the winter, a thin film of ice (nice = 1.31) can form on a window (nglass = 1.50).
(a) The phase shift for light that reflects off of the air/ice interface (i.e. the front surface of the ice) has a phase shift of
(b)The phase shift for light that reflects off of the ice/glass interface (i.e. the back surface of the ice) has a phase shift of
(c) The equation 2t = m(?/n) for this problem describes
(d) The equation 2t = (m + 1/2)(?/n) for this problem describes
Consider the case that light reflected from the front and back surfaces of such a film of ice interferes constructively in the green region of the spectrum (544 nm).
(e) Calculate the minimum thickness of the film.
