Using the tables of the Appendix, calculate the difference of refractive indices of quartz for light wavelength `lambda = 589.5 nm` with right-hand and left-hand circular polarizations.

Monochromatic plane-polarized light with angular frequency omega through a certain substance along a unifrom magnetic field h . Find the difference of refractive indices for right-hand and left-hand components of light beam with circular polarization if the verdet consatnt is equal to V .

One has to manufacture a quartz plate cur parallel to its optical axis and not exceeding 0.50mm is thickness. Find the maximum thickness of the plate allowing plane-polarized light with wavelength lambda = 589 nm (a) to experience only rotation of polarization plane, (b) to acquire circular polarization after passing through that plane.

Shown in the figure is a prism of angle 30^(@) and refractive index mu_(p)=sqrt(3) . Face AC of the prism is covered with a thin film of refractive index mu_(f)=2.2 A monochromatic light of wavelength lambda =550 nm fall on the face AB at an angle of incidence of 60^(@) Calculate angle of emergence

A quartz plate cut parallel to its optical axis is placed between two corssed Nicol prisms so that principle directions form an angle of 45^(@) with the optical axis of the plate. What is the minimum thickness of that plate transmitting light of wavelength lambda = 643nm with maximum intensity while greatly reducing the intensity of transmitting light of wavelength lambda_(2) = 564 nm ? The difference of refractive indieces indices for extroardianry and ordinary rays is assumed to be equal to n_(e) - n_(0) = 0.0090 for both wavelengths.
