    White light may be considered to be a mixture of wave with\[\lambda \]ranging between \[3000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] and \[7800\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. An oil film of thickness \[10000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] is examined normally by the reflected light. If \[\mu =1.4,\]then the film appears bright for

    A) \[4308\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ }5091\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ }6222\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B) \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ }5091\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ 5600}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[4667\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ 6222}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ 7000}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D) \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ 4667}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\text{ 5600}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\,\,70\text{00}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The film appears bright if the path difference is \[2\mu t\cos r=(2n-1)\frac{\lambda }{2}\]                            \[n=1,2,3...\] \[\therefore \]\[\lambda =\frac{4\mu t\cos r}{(2n-1)}\] \[\lambda =\frac{4\times 1.4\times 10000\times {{10}^{-10}}\cos {{0}^{o}}}{(2n-1)}\] \[=\frac{56000}{(2n-1)}{AA}\] \[\therefore \]\[\lambda =56000{AA},\text{ }18666{AA},\text{ }11200{AA},\text{ }8000{AA},\] \[6222{AA},\text{ }5091{AA},\text{ }4308{AA},\text{ }3733{AA}\] The wavelengths which are not within specified ranges are to be rejected.
