The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements A and R, we will evaluate each statement individually and then determine their relationship. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A Statement A claims that if a thin soap film is arranged vertically, the spectrum of colored fringes is spread equally on the film. - **Explanation**: When light reflects off the surfaces of a thin soap film, it undergoes interference. The arrangement of the film (vertical or horizontal) does not affect the formation of colored fringes; rather, it is the thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light that influence the colors observed. Therefore, this statement is somewhat misleading as the arrangement alone does not guarantee equal spreading of colors. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement R Statement R states that the colors of the film are dependent on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light. - **Explanation**: This statement is accurate. The colors observed in a soap film arise from constructive and destructive interference of light waves reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces of the film. The thickness of the film determines the path difference between the reflected waves, and the wavelength of the light determines which colors will constructively interfere. Thus, the colors are indeed dependent on both the thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light. ### Step 3: Conclusion Now, let's determine the relationship between statements A and R. - **Conclusion**: Statement A is not entirely correct as it oversimplifies the conditions for the appearance of colored fringes. Statement R, however, is true and provides the correct reasoning behind the colors observed in a soap film. Therefore, A is false, and R is true. ### Final Answer - A is false, and R is true. ---

If we are to observe interference in a thin film, why must the film not be very thick (with thickness only on the order of a few wavelength)?

On introducing a thin film in the path of one of the two interfering beam, the central fringe will shift by one fringe width. If mu=1.5, the thickness of the film is (wavelength of monochromatic light is lambda )

When the plastic thin film of refractive index 1.45 is placed in the path of one of the interfering waves then the central fringe is displaced through width of five fringes.The thickness of the film will be ,if the wavelength of light is 5890Å

A light of wavelength 5890Å falls normally on a thin air film. The minimum thickness of the film such that the film appears dark in reflected light is

In a doulble slit experiment when a thin film of thickness t having refractive index mu is introduced in from of one of the slits, the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one width. The value of t is (lamda is the wavelength of the light used)

A : The soap film in sun light is colourful. R : Thin films produce interference of light.

A : Thin films such as soap bubble or a thin layer of oil on water show beautiful colours when illuminated by sunlight. R : The colours are obtained by dispersion of light only.
