Answer:
The longest wavelength in vacuum for which there is constructive interference for the reflected light, λ = 3472.
Explanation:
Refractive index of Glass (given) = 1.5
For the case of a constructive interference,
2nt = (m + 1/2) λ
For case 1,
2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm
For case 2,
2nt = (m +1+ 1/2) 386 nm
2nt = (m+3/2) * 386 nm
(m + 1/2) 496 nm = (m+3/2) * 386 nm
m = 3
Inserting the value of m in 1.
2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm
2*1.5t = (3 + 1/2) * 496 nm
t = ((3 + 1/2) * 496 nm)/ 3
t = 578.6 nm
The thickness of the glass, t = 578.6 nm
b)
It is generally known that for constructive interference,
2nt = (m + 1/2) λ
λ = 2nt / ((m + 1/2))
For Longest Wavelength, m = 0
λ = 2*1.5*578.6/ (1/2)
λ = 3472 nm

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.
x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is

in the positive direction.
y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is

in the positive direction.
Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using

from which we find
Air pressure decreases with altitude
