To solve the problem of finding the number of waves of light in a thickness 't' of glass with a refractive index 'μ', we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the change in wavelength When light travels from a vacuum (or air) into a medium like glass, its wavelength changes. The original wavelength in vacuum is denoted as \( \lambda_0 \). In the glass, the wavelength \( \lambda_g \) can be expressed as: \[ \lambda_g = \frac{\lambda_0}{\mu} \] where \( \mu \) is the refractive index of the glass. ...
