Chapter 11.6, Problem 3aT
Observer A is looking at the part of the film that is 75 nm thick.
Consider two reflected rays that reach observer A, similar to the rays that you identified in part E of section II.
1. How much farther does one of these rays travel than the other in reaching observer A in mm?
2. What is the phase difference between these rays? (Be sure to take into account the phase of soap him changes that you identified in part C of section II as well as any phase difference due to path length difference.)
3. Is observer A looking at a region of maximum brightness, minimum brightness, or neither? Explain your reasoning.

The below image shows the changing frequency, and therefore, wavelengths for light from a distant source.
The image on the left shows the normal laboratory values of light absorbed from the spectrum. The image on the right shows a distant object in motion.
What is the behavior of the object?
O The light is red shifted and the object is moving away from Earth.
O The light is blue shifted and the object is moving towards Earth.
O The light is blue shifted and the object is moving away from Earth.
O The light is redshifted and the object is moving towards Earth.
Yellow light with wavelength 600 nm is travelling to the right (in the positive x direction) in
vacuum. The light is polarized along the +y direction. The light passes an observer X located on the x
axis.
(a) Draw a neat labeled movie mode vector picture of the wave at the location of AX.
(b) If the wave were to represent blue light instead of yellow light, how would your diagram in part a
change? Draw a new diagram to explain these changes. If there is no change, say so explicitly.

rotated by an angle from that of adjacent sheets. Find if 18% of the incident intensity is transmitted
