1. (10 pts) Light of continuously variable wavelength illuminates normally a thin oil (index of 1.30) film on a glass surface (n
glass
=
1.50). Extinction of the reflected light is observed to occur at wavelengths of525 and 675 nm in the visible spectrum. Determine
the thickness of the oil film and the orders of the interference.

2. (4 pts) When one mirror of a Michelson interferometer is translated by 0.0114 em, 523 fringes are observed to pass the
crosshairs of the viewing telescope. Calculate the wavelength of the light.

3. (6 pts) The plates of a Fabry-Perot interferometer have a reflectance coefficient of r = 0.99. Calculate the minimum (a)
resolving power and (b) plate separation that will accomplish the resolution of the two components of the H-alpha doublet of the
hydrogen spectrum whose separation is 9.472 GHz at 6563 A.

6. (lOp") The Taoti"l High E=gy L"" (TIIEL) Demonstr.!o' foQtit: ~ ~ missiles'5f.:ibeamhas an
aperture of 58 cm and operates at a wavelength of 2.0 microns. The maximum range is estimated to be approximately 5 km.
While the exact power output is classified, it is common knowledge that this H-F (hydrogen fluoride) laser probably operates
with a power output of about lOO-kW.
(By the way, the THEL costs about $8,000 per shot and can do about 60 shots between refurbishments and refueling. Another
application is for shooting down fighter jets. Currently THEL is about the size of 4 or 5 mobile homes.)
