To solve the problem, we need to find the difference in the number of waves when light of wavelength \( \lambda_0 \) in vacuum travels through the same thickness \( t \) in glass and water. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Refractive Index**: The refractive index \( \mu \) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in that medium. It can also be expressed in terms of wavelength: \[ \mu = \frac{\lambda_0}{\lambda} ...
