NOTE: There is a MAJOR TYPO in the Chapter 27.1 and 27.3 handout!! 
So sorry everyone! I found a major typo in the "Chapter 27 - Superposition and Thin Films" handout (it changes the meaning significantly). I corrected it and reposted below, but the handout I distributed in class still has the typo. Please make the following corrections in your handout, or download the new (corrected) version:
Page 3 #3: "Now consider the interaction of the REFLECTED waves ..." (it should not say "incident waves")
Page 5 #6: "Now consider the interaction of the REFLECTED waves ..." (it should not say "incident waves")
Page 7 #9: "Now consider the interaction of the REFLECTED waves ..." (it should not say "incident waves")
(I made the mistake on page 3, then cut/paste to the other pages -- OOPS!)
