This is what i can do: 1) consider this problem as thin-film interference. 2) the strongest intensity occurs at minima dark film in air ( because the observer is diving) ? I cannot explain why! 3) we set up the equation for minima dark film in air: 2L=(m+1/2)\lamda)/1.2 ? and put it in the...

A disabled tanker leaks kerosene (n=1.2) into the Persian Gulf, creating a large slick on the top of water (n=1.3). If you are scuba diving directly under the region of the slick, whose thickness is 460nm, while the Sun is overhead, for which wavelength(s) of visible light is the transmitted...
