As we learn in physical optics, thin film interference can cause some wavelengths of light to be strongly reflected while others are not reflected at all. Neglecting absorption, all light has to go one way or the other, so wavelengths not reflected are strongly transmitted, (a) For a film of thickness I surrounded by air, what wavelengths λ (while they are within the film) will be strongly transmitted? What wavelengths (while they are “over” the barrier) of matter waves satisfy condition (6-14)? (c) Comment on the relationship between the answers in (a) and (b).
