Light of wavelength 6000Å is incident on...

Light of wavelength 6000Å is incident on a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.5 such that angle of refraction into the plate is `60^(@)`. Calculate the smallest thickness of plate which will make it appear dark by reflection.

Text Solution

`2mut cosr=n lambda` or `t=(nlambda)/(2mucosr)=(1xx6xx10^(-7))/(2xx1.5xxcos60^@)=(6xx10^(-7))/1.5=4xx10^(-7)m`
