A thin film having refractive index mu" = 1.5" has air on both sides. It is illuminated by white light falling normally on it. Analysis of the reflected light shows that the wavelengths 450 nm and 540 nm are the only missing wavelengths in the visible portion of the spectrum. Assume that visible range is 400 nm to 780 nm. (a) Find thickness of the film. (b) Which wavelengths are brightest in the interference pattern of the reflected light?

the only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions in the first orbit. When energy is supplied the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. It emits energy. Lyman series is formed when the electron returns to the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the electron returns to second. Similarly, Paschen, Breakett and Pfund series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth and fifth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively (as shown in figure). Maximum number of different lines produced when electron jump from nth level to ground level is equal to (n(n-1))/(2). For example in the case of n=4, number of lines produced is 6.(4to3,4to2,4to1,3to2,3to1,2to1). When an electron returns from n_(2) "to"n_(1) state, the number of different lines in the spectrum will be equal to ((n_(2)-n_(1))(n_(2)-n_(1)+1))/(2) If the electron comes back from energy level having energy E_(2) to energy level having energy E_(1), then the difference may be expressed in terms of energy of photon as: E_(2)-E_(1)=DeltaE,lambda=(hc)/(DeltaE),DeltaE=hv(v-"frequency") Since h and c are constants DeltaE corresponds to definite energy: thus each transition from one energy level to another will produce a light of definite wavelength. This is actually observed as a line in the spectrum of hydrogen atom. Wave number of line is given by the formula: barv=RZ^(2)((1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))) where R is a Rydberg constant (R=1.1xx10^(7)m^(-1)). (i) First line of a series : It is called line of longest wavelength of line of smallest energy'. (ii) Series limit or last line of a series : It is the line of shortest wavelength or line of highest energy. wave number of the first line of Paschen series in Be^(3+) ion is :
