A thin oil film of refracting index `1.2` floats on the surface of water `(mu=4/3)`. When a light of wavelength `lamda=9.6xx10^(-7)m` falls normally on the film air, then it appears dark when seen normally. The minimum change in its thickness for which it will appear bright in normally reflected light by the same light is `Zxx10^(-7)m`. Then find `Z`.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to determine the minimum change in thickness of the oil film for it to appear bright when viewed normally after it initially appears dark. Here’s the step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Understand the Condition for Dark Appearance
When the oil film appears dark, it indicates that the path difference between the two reflected rays is an odd multiple of half the wavelength. The condition for dark fringes is given by:
\[ \Delta x = (2n - 1) \frac{\lambda}{2} \]
where \( n \) is an integer, \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of light, and \( n \) is the refractive index of the medium from which the light is coming.

### Step 2: Calculate the Path Difference for Dark Appearance
For the oil film (with refractive index \( \mu_2 = 1.2 \)) on water (with refractive index \( \mu_1 = \frac{4}{3} \)), the path difference for the dark fringe can be expressed as:
\[ \Delta x = 2 \mu_2 t = (2n - 1) \frac{\lambda}{2} \]
Substituting \( \mu_2 = 1.2 \) and \( \lambda = 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \) m, we have:
\[ 2 \times 1.2 \times t = (2n - 1) \frac{9.6 \times 10^{-7}}{2} \]

### Step 3: Rearranging the Equation
Rearranging gives:
\[ t = \frac{(2n - 1) \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7}}{4 \times 1.2} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ t = \frac{(2n - 1) \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7}}{4.8} \]

### Step 4: Condition for Bright Appearance
For the film to appear bright, the path difference must be an integer multiple of the wavelength:
\[ \Delta x = m \lambda \]
where \( m \) is an integer.

### Step 5: Calculate the New Thickness for Bright Appearance
The new thickness \( t' \) for the bright fringe can be expressed as:
\[ t' = \frac{m \lambda}{2 \mu_1} \]
Substituting \( \mu_1 = \frac{4}{3} \):
\[ t' = \frac{m \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7}}{2 \times \frac{4}{3}} = \frac{m \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \times 3}{8} \]

### Step 6: Find the Change in Thickness
The change in thickness \( \Delta t \) is given by:
\[ \Delta t = t' - t \]
Substituting the expressions for \( t' \) and \( t \):
\[ \Delta t = \left(\frac{m \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \times 3}{8}\right) - \left(\frac{(2n - 1) \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7}}{4.8}\right) \]

### Step 7: Simplifying the Change in Thickness
To find the minimum change in thickness, we can set \( m = n + 1 \) (the next integer) and simplify:
\[ \Delta t = \frac{(n + 1) \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \times 3}{8} - \frac{(2n - 1) \times 9.6 \times 10^{-7}}{4.8} \]
This can be simplified further to find the exact value of \( Z \).

### Step 8: Final Calculation
After calculating, we find that:
\[ \Delta t = 2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m} \]
Thus, \( Z = 2 \).

### Final Answer
The value of \( Z \) is:
\[ \boxed{2} \]
