Optics Question 1147

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

[Pb. PMT 2003]

Options:

A) 2.945×107m

B) 3.945×107m

C) 4.95×107m

D) 1.945×107m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

If thin film appears dark 2mt cos r = nl for normal incidence r=0o

Therefore 2 m t = nl

Therefore t=nλ2μ

Therefore tmin=λ2μ = 5890×10102×1

=2.945×107m .
