$A$ parallel beam of light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a coated glass plate. If $25 \%$ of the incident light is reflected from the upper surface and $50 \%$ of the light that enters the glass is reflected from the lower surface of the glass plate,the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference region of the reflected light is

Light is incident on a glass plate $(\mu = 1.5)$ such that the angle of refraction is $60^\circ$. $A$ dark band is observed corresponding to a wavelength of $6000 \, \mathring A$. If the thickness of the glass plate is $1.2 \times 10^{-3} \, mm$,find the order of the interference band.

Which of the following produces coherent waves?

To ensure almost $100$ per cent transmittivity,photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediate between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). $A$ typically used dielectric film is $MgF_2$ $(n = 1.38)$. What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum $5500 \, \mathring{A}$ there is maximum transmission?
