Film on Water
A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of
refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. When
viewed from the air in the direction normal to the surface, there is
constructive interference of reflected red light with
l = 675 nm.
Find the minimum thickness t of the oil film that will give constructive
interference of reflected light with l = 675 nm.
tmin = nm
