Answer:
a) 600nm
b) 300nm
Explanation:
the path difference = 2t
t = thickness of the film
L' = wavelength of light in film = L/n
L = wavength of light in air
n = refractive index of glass
(a)
for destructive interference 2t = L'/2 = L/2n
L = 4*t*n
= 4*120*10^-9*1.25
L = 600 nm
(b)
for constructive interference 2t = L' = L/1.25
L = 2tn
= 2 × 1.25 × 120nm
= 300 nm
