Optics 4 Question 20
21. A prism of refracting angle is coated with a thin film of transparent material of refractive index 2.2 on face of the prism. A light of wavelength is incident on face such that angle of incidence is . Find
(a) the angle of emergence and
(b) the minimum value of thickness of the coated film on the face
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 21. (a) zero
(b)
Solution:
- (a)
Therefore, ray of light falls normally on the face
(b) Multiple reflections occur between surface of film. Intensity will be maximum if constructive interference takes place in the transmitted wave.
For maximum thickness
