If a thin film has a thickness that is
A. 1/4 of a wavelength, constructive interference could
occur.
B. 1/4 of a wavelength, destructive interference could occur.
C. 1/2 of a wavelength, constructive interference could
occur.
D. 1/2 of a wavelength, destructive interference could occur.
1/4 of a wavelength, constructive interference could occur.
Option (a) is correct.
Because ,
Constructive interference occurs here when
The smallest constructive thickness thus is
t=
This is the condition for constructive interference....

Monochromatic light of wavelength X-89.1um is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a fully reflective surface. The film has an index of refraction of n film 1.5 What is the smallest thickness t (in ?m) the film could have to get constructive interference?
A thin film, with a thickness of 277.1 nm and with air on both sides, is illuminated with a beam of white light. The beam is perpendicular to the film and consists of the full range of wavelengths for the visible spectrum. In the light reflected by the film, light with a wavelength of 632.3 nm undergoes fully constructive interference. At what wavelength does the reflected light undergo fully destructive interference? (Hint: You must make a reasonable assumption about the...
A soap bubble film (n=1.42) of thickness 106 nm results in a constructive interference in the reflected light if this film is illuminated by a beam of light with a wavelength of 601 nm. What are the next three thicknesses of this film that will also result in a constructive interference?

The default setting is a thin film of glass(n = 1.5) with air (n = 1)on both sides.The starting wavelength is 652 nm and the starting thickness is 544 nm. Use these starting values for this next set of questions. 1. Is there a phase shift on the front (left) interface? On the back (right) interface in the simulation?Justify why there is/isn’t a phase shift at each interface. 2. How does the wavelength in the film (glass) compare to the...
