From an LED of a specific color, 3 different wavelengths are emitted. From this light source we are trying to do Young's experiment, but the results seem to be mixed. It is found that, in effect, in the central maximum the 3 colors coincide, but in the other maximums the 3 colors are separated. If the separation between the slits is d, find for the 3 wavelengths, in which order of maximum they rejoin. Find the maximum order for the wavelengths and find the angular position where this union of the 3 wavelengths occurs. Where A1 = 2, 12 = 3 and 13 = 4

An inventor notices that a soap bubble is dark at its thinnest and realizes that destructive interference is taking place for all wavelengths. How could she use this knowledge to make a nonreflective coating for lenses that is effective at all wavelengths? That is, what limits would there be on the index of refraction and thickness of the coating? How might this be impractical?
An X-ray scattering experiment is performed on a crystal whose atoms form planes separated by 0.440 nm.

Consider a spectrometer based on a diffraction grating. Construct a problem in which you calculate the distance between two wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in your spectrometer. Among the things to be considered are the wavelengths you wish to be able to distinguish, the number of lines per meter on the diffraction grating, and the distance from the grating to the screen or detector. Discuss the practicality of the device in terms of being able to discern between wavelengths of interest.
