To find the minimum thickness of the soap film that produces a bright band of wavelength 5400 Å when white light is incident at an angle of 45°, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Refractive index of soap film, \( \mu = \frac{4}{3} \) - Angle of incidence, \( I = 45^\circ \) - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 5400 \, \text{Å} = 5400 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 5.4 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Apply Snell's Law ...
