A soap film (n=1.33) is 772 nm thick. White light strikes the film at normal incidence. What visible wavelengths will be constructively reflected if the film is surrounded by air on both sides? If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.

A soap bubble is 95 nm thick and illuminated by white light incident perpendicular to its surface. The longest wavelength in nm which is constructively reflected, assuming soap has the same index of refraction as water (n = 1.33) is equal to 505.4 nm. Draw a diagram of the mediums showing where, if any, a phase change occurs. State whether you are looking for constructive of destructive interference.

A soap film (n = 1.33) is formed in a loop of wire that is mounted vertically is not exactly uniform in thickness because of its weight, but wedge-shaped in cross section. When the film is illuminated with violet light of wavelength 405 nm, one sees that a distance of 2.20 cm separates two bright fringes that are 4 orders apart. By how much does the film differ in thickness over this distance?

A thin film suspended in air is 0.400 µm thick and is illuminated with white light incident perpendicularly on its surface. The index of refraction of the film is 1.58. At what wavelength will visible light that is reflected from the two surfaces of the film undergo fully constructive interference?

Light with wavelength 530 nm in air (n = 1) passes through a soap bubble (n = 1.33), where its wavelength becomes ≈ 400 nm. A What is the phase difference between a light wave reflected off the surface of the bubble and one that passes into it before being reflected? B The thickness of the bubble is 100 nm. Does this lead to constructive or destructive interference? C What would happen for a soap film covering a glass surface...

White light falls in, near the normal direction, against a thin oil film lying on a glass plate. Two colors with wavelengths of 525nm and 650nm clearly dominate the reflected light. Assume that the refractive index of the oil is 1.25 and the refractive index of the glass is 1.5. Determine the thickness of the film and the order of interference for the dominant colors.

An oil film (n = 1.45) floating on the surface of water has white light incident on it at normal angle of incidence (i.e. perpendicular to the film). The film is 280 nm thick. For this problem, you will need to know that the visible spectrum consists of wavelengths of light from 400 to 700 nm. (a) What type of reflection (hard or soft) occurs at the air-oil interface, and what type of reflection (hard or soft) occurs at the...
