To ensure almost 100 per cent transmitivity, photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refracive index of this material is intermediatead between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). A typically used dielectric film is M_gF_2 (n=1.38). What should the thickness of the film be so that at the centre of the visible spectrum (5500 oversetcircA) there is maximum transmission.

Assertion : Sea water looks blue. Reason : Due to scatting of light by colloidal impurities present in sea water.

In these question, a statement of asertion followed by a statement of reason is given .Choose the correct answer out of the following choices: Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement. Assertion:Thin films such as soap bubble or a thin layer of ol on water show beautiful colours,when illuminated by white light. Reason:It happens due to the interfernce of light reflected from the upper and lower surface ot the thin film.
