What is the minimum thickness of a soap bubble needed for constructive interference in reflected light, if the light incident on the film is 750 nm? Assume that the refractive index for the film is `n=1.33`

A

282 nm

B

`70.5 nm`

C

141 nm

D

387 nm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We have `2mut=lambda/2`
`rArr` Minimum thickness,
`t=lambda/(4mu)=(750xx10^(-9))/(4xx4//3)=141nm`

An oil film covers the surface of a small pond. The refractive index of the oil is greater than that of water.
