There appears to be anambiguity for the case s = 10cm to whether s′ is andwhether the image is erect or inverted. How is this resolved? Or is it?
Short Answer
Yes, both cases are hold.

Get started for freeInterference can occur in thin films. Why is it important that the films be thin? Why don’t you get these effects with a relatively thick film? Where should you put the dividing line between “thin” and “thick”? Explain your reasoning.
Explain, using phasor diagrams, why each statement is true. (a) A minimum occurs whenever ϕ is an integral multiple of 2π/N, except when ϕ is an integral multiple of 2π (which gives a principal maximum). (b) There are (N-1) minima between each pair of principal maxima.
34.19 A person swimming 0.80cm below the surface of the water in a swimming pool looks at the diving board that is directly overhead and sees the image of the board that is formed by refraction at the surface of the water. This image is a height of 5.20 m above the swimmer. What is the actual height of the diving board above the surface of the water?
When unpolarized light is incident on two crossed polarizers, no light is transmitted. A student asserted that if a third polarizer is inserted between the other two, some transmission will occur. Does this make sense? How can adding a third filter increase transmission?
Two small stereo speakers A and B that are 1.40 m apart are sending out sound of wavelength 34 cm in all directions and all in phase. A person at point P starts out equidistant from both speakers and walks so that he is always 1.50 m from speaker B (Fig. E35.1). For what values of x will the sound this person hears be (a) maximally reinforced, (b) cancelled? Limit your solution to the cases where x 1.50 m.
