A thin film soap bubble (n=1.35) is floating in air. If the thickness of the bubble wall is 300nm, which of the following wavelengths of visible light is strongly reflected?

Respuesta :

Answer:

540 nm

Explanation:

According to the question,

The refractive index of the soap bubble, [tex]n=1.35[/tex].

The thickness of the soap bubble wall is, [tex]t=300 nm[/tex].

Now, for constructive interference of soap bubble.

[tex]2nt=(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda[/tex].

Now for first order m=1.

Therfore,

[tex]\lambda =\frac{4}{3} tn[/tex]

Substitute all the variables in the above equation.

[tex]\lambda =\frac{4}{3} (1.35)(300 nm)[/tex].

Therefore,

[tex]\lambda =540 nm[/tex].

Therefore the visible light wavelength which is strongly reflected is 540 nm.
