2. A disable tanker leaks kerosene (n=1.20) into Konnos Bay, 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 were the thickness is 460 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?

6. Diffraction gratings have an equally spaced number of slits and are rated in terms of
slits per cm. A common number of slits per cm is 6000. (a) If such a grating is used to
view a beam of pure blue light (440 nm) where will the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order maxima
be located?
Solution:
1cm 0.01m
The slit to slit distance is d 1.66 10 6 m
6000 6000
(b) In order to give an answer we need to know the number of slits N (in this problem is
missing). What we are given is the number of slits /cm. If we know the width of the
grading that is illuminated then we can find the total number N of illuminated slits.
This means that the grating can resolve the two lines.
