Group question: a flat glass microscope slide (n=1.5) in air is illuminated with green light (λ=520 nm). Light reflects off both surfaces. What do you see in top view (what is the combined light reflected off the slide)? 1. All black 2. All bright 3. Dark and bright fringes similar to the two slit interference pattern 4. Not enough information We must know how far the second ray travels in the glass to know if it is in-phase with the first ray or not. If the thickness of the glass is such that the second rays ends up in-phase with the first then we see a bright green. If the two rays are out of phase then the slide will look black the two rays cancel.
