  • question_answer
    A light of wavelength \[5890\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] falls normally on a thin air film. The minimum thickness of the film such that the film appears dark in reflected light is

    A) \[2.945\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]     

    B) \[3.945\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]

    C) \[4.95\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]                        

    D) \[1.945\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    If thin film appears dark                 \[2\mu t\cos r=n\lambda \] For normal incidence\[r={{0}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2\mu t=n\lambda \,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,t=\frac{n\lambda }{2\mu }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{t}_{\min }}=\frac{\lambda }{2\mu }=\frac{5890\times {{10}^{-10}}}{2\times 1}\]                       \[=2.945\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]
