White light reflected at normal incidence from a soap film has minima at6500 A∘and maxima at7500 A∘in the visible region without minimum in between. Ifμis53for the thin film, the thickness of the film is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

For minima to occur,

2μt=2nλ12...(i)

and for maxima

2μt=2n-1λ22...(ii)

From Equations. (i) and (ii), we get

2n-1λ2=2nλ1

or2n-17500=2n6500

given, λ2=7500 A∘, λ1=6500 A∘

or15000n-7500=13000n

or2000n=7500

orn=3.75

Substituting the value ofnin equation (i), we get

2×53×t=2×3.75×65002×10-10∵ μ=53

⇒ t=7.40×10-7 m
