A 500-μm-long InGaAsP crystal operates at a wavelength where its refractive index n = 3.5. Neglecting scattering and other losses, determine the gain coefficient required to barely compensate for reflection losses at the crystal boundaries. Hint: the reflectivity can be calculated by the Fresnel reflection. Calculate the threshold gain coefficient.

Measuring Refractive Index. A thin slit illuminated by light of frequency $f$ produces its first dark band at $\pm 38.2^{\circ}$ in air. When the entire apparatus (slit, screen, and space in between) is immersed in an unknown transparent liquid, the slit's first dark bands occur instead at $\pm 21.6^{\circ} .$ Find the refractive index of the liquid.
