A thin film having an index of refraction of 1.50 is

Chapter , Problem 27

(choose chapter or problem)

A thin film having an index of refraction of 1.50 is surrounded by air. It is illuminated normally by white light. Analysis of the reflected light shows that the wavelengths are the only missing wavelengths in or near the visible portion of the spectrum. That is, for those wavelengths, there is destructive interference. (a) What is the thickness of the film? (b) What visible wavelengths are brightest in the reflected interference pattern? (c) If this film were resting on glass that has an index of refraction of 1.60, what wavelengths in the visible spectrum would be missing from the reflected light?
