Can you relate the path travelled to a change in phase?

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

\[N_{2}-N _{1}=\frac{ L }{ \lambda }(n _{2}-n _{1})\] Where N is the number of wave lengths in the medium. So the difference of the two numbers will give the phase shift in terms of wavelength. therefore I put the above equation equal to 0.5 and the solved for L.

It is correct, well done :)) What other values than 0.5 would lead to 2 waves in phase on exit?

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

1.5

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Correct, you've done it :))
