An oil tanker spills a large amount of oil (n = 1.45) into thesea (n = 1.33).
A. If you look down on the oil spill from overhead, what predominant wavelength of light do you see at a point where the oil is 380 nm thick? What color is the light?
B. In the water under the oil slick, what visible wavelength(as measured in the air) is predominant in the transmitted light at the same place in the slick as in part A?
(air refractive index = 1.00029)
(oil refractive index = 1.45)
(water refractive index = 1.33)
