A planoconvex lens of radius R and index of refraction n is placed curved side down on flat glass surface. This configuration is being used to measure the wavelength of light produced by a particular light source. If the radius of the dark rings produced by interference is r, what is the wavelength of the light? Assume the setup is in air.
  1. rn/mR
  2. Rn/mr
  3. mR/nr2
  4. R2/mR

Question 2

Two glass slides are separated by a thin layer of plastic. The glass has an index of refraction nglass and the plastic has an index nplastic. The two indices are not equal. If nplastic = 1.50, for what minimum non-zero thickness of plastic will the transmitted light be for a beam of wavelength 600 nm?
  1.400 nm
  2.200 nm
  3.100 nm
  4.One needs to know which of the indices is the greater to solve this.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
