A thin film of acetone (n = 1.25) coats a thick glass plate (n = 1.50). White light is incident normal to the film. In the reflections, fully destructive interference occurs at 560 nm and fully constructive interference at 630 nm. Calculate the thickness of the acetone film.
For constructive interference,
2 nt = m lambda
t = m x 630/(2 x 1.25) = 252 m ...... (1)
For destructive interference,
t = (m + 0.5) x 560/(2 x 1.25) = 224 (m + 0.5) ..... (2)
From (1) and (2)
224 m + 112 = 252 m
m = 4
So, t = 252 x 4 = 1008 nm

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...
