    A plane wave of monochromatic light falls normally on a uniform thin layer of oil which covers a glass plate. The wavelength of source can be varies continuously. Complete destructive interference is observed for\[\lambda =5000\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] and \[\lambda =1000\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] and for no other wavelength in between. If \[\mu \] of oil is 1.3 and that of glass is 1.5, the thickness of the film will be

    A) \[6.738\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]   

    B) \[5.7\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]

    C) \[4\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]      

    D)        \[2.8\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] In this case, both the rays suffere a phase change of \[180{}^\circ \] and the conditions for destructive interference is \[2nd=\left( m+\frac{1}{2} \right){{\lambda }_{1}}\] and \[2nd=\left( m+\frac{3}{2} \right){{\lambda }_{2}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{m+\frac{1}{2}}{m+\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=\frac{5000}{700}=\frac{5}{7}\] and \[d=\frac{\left( m+\frac{1}{2} \right){{\lambda }_{1}}}{2n}=\frac{2.5\times 7000}{2\times 1.3}\] \[=6.738\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]
