To solve the problem, we need to find the thickness of the air column that will have one more wavelength of yellow light than in the same thickness of vacuum. Let's break down the solution step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - Wavelength of yellow light in vacuum (λ₁) = 6000 Å (angstroms) - Refractive index of air (μ) = 1.0002 ### Step 2: Calculate the Wavelength of Yellow Light in Air The wavelength of light in a medium can be calculated using the formula: ...
