A glass camera lens with an index of refraction of 1.55 is to be coated with a cryolite film (n = 1.3) to decrease the reflections of normally incident green light of wavelength 500 nm. How thick should such a film be?
Given:
Index of refraction of thin film of cryolite nc =1.3
Wavelength of light λ = 500*10-9m
Here we have the condition for brightness in case of reflection as
2nt = mλ. . . . .so set it equal to t
t = mλ / 2n
for minimum thickness m = 1
t = 1*500*10-9m / (2*1.3)
= 220.2nm

Sometimes a nonreflective coating is applied to a lens, such as a camera lens. The coating has an index of refraction between the index of air and the index of the lens. The coating cancels the reflections of one particular wavelength of the incident light. Usually, it cancels green-yellow light (λ 546.0 nm) in the middle of the visible spectrum. (a) Assuming the light is incident perpendicular to the lens surface, what is the minimum thickness of the coating in...
A lens made of glass (n. - 1.52) is coated with a thin film of MgF, (n = 1.38) of thickness t. Visible light is incident normally on the coated lens as in the figure below. Glass thin film Incident An illustration shows a rectangular cross- section of glass lens oriented such that a thin film of thickness tcoats its left side. A ray of light directed to the right is perpendicularly incident upon the left side of the film....
A 610-nm thick film, of index n1 = 1.45, is on the surface of a glass plate, of index n2 = 1.55. A ray of monochromatic light, of 550-nm wavelength, is incident normally upon the air-film interface, and undergoes reflections and transmissions. Consider points A, B, C, and D as being at a neglible distance from their nearest interfaces, respectively. Determine the phase difference (in radians) in the waves at B, with respect to the wave at A. Please show...
