A flat sheet of crown glass has a thickness of 2.5 cm. It is on topof a flat sheet of diamond that has a thickness of 1.5 cm. Lightstrikes the crown glass perpendicularly and travels through it andthen through the diamond. In the time it takes the light to travelthrough the two sheets, how far would it have traveled in avacuum?

In a biology lab, a thin wedge of air is formed by putting a humanhair between two plates of glass at one end, allowing them to touchat the other end. The plates of glass are 3.5 cm wide and have anindex of refraction of n= 1.5. When these plates are illimuniatedfrom above with visible light of wavelength ? = 771 nm, it isobserved that 179 bright fringes are formed from one end of theplate to the other.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) How thick is the hair?
thair= µm


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) The two plates of glass are now replaced with two small platesof plastic with the same dimensions, except now n= 1.4 for theplates. How thick would the hair have to be so that you would seethe same number of bright fringes as before?
thair= µm


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c) The plastic plates remain in place, but now the wedge if filledwith water (n=1.3) How thick would the hair have to be so that youwould see the same number of bright fringes as before?
thair= µm
