Transmission through thin layers. In Fig. 35-43, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between (thicker) materials 1 and 3. (The rays are tilted only for clarity.) Part of the light ends up in material 3 as ray (the light does not reflect inside material 2) and (the light reflects twice inside material 2). The waves of and interfere, and here we consider the type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). For this situation, each problem in Table 35-3 refers to the indexes of refraction and the type of interference, the thin-layer thickness in nanometers, and the wavelength in nanometers of the light as measured in air. Where is missing, give the wavelength that is in the visible range. Where is missing, give the second least thickness or the third least thickness as indicated.

Figure 35-40 shows two isotropic point sources of light (and ) that emit in phase at wavelength 400 nm and at the same amplitude. A detection point P is shown on an x-axis that extends through source . The phase difference between the light arriving at point P from the two sources is to be measured as P is moved along the x axis from out to .The results out to are given in Fig. 35-41. On the way out to , what is the greatest value of x at which the light arriving at from is exactly out of phase with the light arriving at P from ?

The figure shows the design of a Texas arcade game, Four laser pistols are pointed toward the center of an array of plastic layers where a clay armadillo is the target. The indexes of refraction of the layers are and . The layer thicknesses are either 2.00 mm or 4.00 mm, as drawn. What is the travel time through the layers for the laser burst from (a) pistol 1, (b) pistol 2, (c) pistol 3, and (d) pistol 4? (e) If the pistols are fired simultaneously, which laser burst hits the target first?
