Light is incident normally from air onto a liquid film that is on a glass plate. The liquid film is 164 nm thick, and the liquid has index of refraction 1.60. The glass has index of refraction n = 1.50

Calculate the longest visible wavelength (as measured in air) of the light for which there will be totally destructive interference between the rays reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the film. (Assume that the visible spectrum lies between 400 and 700 nm.)

A scuba diver has his lungs filled to half capacity (3 liters) when 10 m below the surface. If the diver holds his breath while quietly rising to the surface, what will the volume of the lungs be (in liters) at the surface? Assume the temperature is the same at all depths. (The density of water is 1.0 × 10^3 kg/m3.)
